Responsibilities:
* Supporting senior Employer's Agents with project delivery under JCT and bespoke agreements
* Attending and minuting progress meetings, proactively managing project actions
* Assisting with reporting on time, cost, and quality to clients
* Supporting the handover process, including pre-handover inspections
* Assisting with post-completion duties such as defects management, final accounts, and Building Manual audits
* Gaining exposure to retrofit projects, helping to deliver sustainable housing improvements alongside new build developments
Requirements:
* Degree / Qualification in Project Management Construction, Surveying, or a related discipline
* Full UK driving licence and access to a car (site visits required across the South)
