Working closely with the wider project management, engineering and construction teams, you will oversee contractors, coordinate resources, manage project risks and maintain effective relationships with clients and stakeholders.

You will play an important role in ensuring road improvement and associated infrastructure works are delivered in line with the requirements of the wider OHL project.

Key Responsibilities

• Work closely with design, engineering and construction teams to resolve technical challenges and maintain programme delivery.
• Monitor progress, costs, quality and performance against agreed project targets.
• Manage relationships with clients, contractors, suppliers and relevant stakeholders.
• Coordinate with local authorities and other external parties where required.
• Review contractor quotations, monitor subcontractor performance and support procurement activities.
• Identify and manage package-level risks, implementing appropriate mitigation measures.
• Ensure compliance with health, safety, environmental and quality requirements.
• Lead package progress meetings and provide regular updates to the wider project management team.
• Maintain accurate project records, reports and supporting documentation.
• Support workforce planning, resource allocation and construction sequencing.
• Identify opportunities to improve efficiency, productivity and overall project performance.
• Ensure effective coordination and communication between all parties involved in package delivery.
