Ensure appropriate design, construction and change control processes are maintained. Manage Principal Designers, Principal Contractors and wider multidisciplinary project teams. Monitor programme budgets, risks, quality, timescales and contractor performance. Provide clear programme reporting and updates to senior management and governance boards. Work closely with asset management, housing, compliance and finance teams. Drive best practice and continuous improvement across building safety project delivery.
