**ABOUT YOUR ROLE**:

- Co-ordinating and implementing all day-to-day activities in Building 3
- Driving the construction program to achieve progress and project delivery schedules
- Managing subcontractors, direct labour and suppliers on-site
- Making decisions and solving problems that arise on site
- Managing and coordinating materials, plant and equipment, including a Tower Crane
