Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

5/5

I have a very broad role involving many aspects of project delivery. I spend time completing project documentation; supervising site activities; managing deliveries; liaising and helping with sub-contractor activities as well as much more.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
