  • Monitor and manage budgets in coordination with the Cost Manager; approve site expenditure, timesheets, and GRNs in line with governance.

  • Review and approve subcontractor RAMS, manage site requisitions, and ensure plant and materials are utilised efficiently.

  • Take ownership of the rework list, ensuring timely resolution and submission for construction assurance.

  • Collaborate with the Project Delivery Team to support programme, cost and quality reporting, and risk management.

  • Support change management processes and accurate use of CCMS for cost control and purchasing.

  • Liaise with Anglian Water operations staff to ensure seamless asset transition and operational readiness.

  • Lead and motivate the site team, promoting a culture of accountability, collaboration and continuous improvement.
