• Ensure effective communication across teams, clients, and stakeholders to keep all parties aligned.
• Track project timelines and ensure milestones and deadlines are met.
• Identify and help resolve project delays, bottlenecks, and coordination issues.
• Support planning for production and offsite prefabrication departments.
• Coordinate offsite fabrication and modularisation activities across all product lines.
• Participate in client meetings and briefings, including virtual sessions via Teams.
• Provide ongoing support across all project phases and respond to client needs and concerns.
• Deliver administrative support including meeting scheduling, document preparation, and file management.
• Offer internal and client-facing technical assistance when required.

• Proficient in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook, PowerPoint).
• Comfortable working across multiple disciplines and managing several projects concurrently.
• Strong decision-making, time management, and organisational skills.
• Clear and confident communicator with a customer-first approach.
