Your responsibilities will include:

- Managing and coordinating trades on site

- Maintaining site safety, cleanliness and organisation

- Coordinating materials, deliveries and trades

- Reading and interpreting plans and specifications

- Monitoring workmanship and quality

- Assisting with programming and sequencing of works

- Identifying and resolving site issues

- Liaising with trades, suppliers, consultants and management

- Completing site inspections and quality checks

Why Join Abecon?

You'll have the opportunity to learn the full site management side of custom residential construction, including programming, trade coordination, quality control, procurement and project delivery.
