Take primary responsibility for all site Health & Safety procedures, managing the safety file and ensuring strict compliance with Irish legislation.
Conduct continuous quality control checks, managing snagging lists and ensuring work is delivered to the specified finish.
Assist in materials procurement, plant hire scheduling, and general cost control on site, working closely with the Quantity Surveyor.
