• Helping to monitor material levels on site to ensure minimum stock while meeting the programme and employing all labour efficiently.
• Ensuring that all plots are built to the highest standard of quality while contributing to a high standard of overall site presentation.
• Reporting defects on IFix.
• Showing a good behavioural example in all aspects of health & safety, organisation, conduct, quality of work and professionalism.
