Monitor project progress and report any issues or potential delays to senior management.
Ensure all works are carried out in accordance with health, safety and environmental requirements.
Assist with resolving technical issues and problems arising on site.
Support the successful delivery of road projects from preparation through to completion.

Experience Required

Degree or equivalent qualification in Civil Engineering, Construction Management or a related discipline.
