Produce and manage technical submittals, RFIs, RAMS, ITPs, progress reports and outstanding works schedules.

Coordinate with design teams and the manufacturing workshop to ensure ductwork is planned, fabricated and delivered in line with installation programmes.

Review manufacturing drawings and technical information to ensure quality, buildability and installation requirements are met.

Identify programme risks, manufacturing constraints and site dependencies, implementing solutions to maintain project delivery.

Maintain quality assurance documentation, handover records and project close-out information.

Build strong working relationships with clients, consultants, subcontractors and internal teams.

Excellent organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
