• Preparing scopes of work, RAMS and quotations, accurately assessing labour, materials, plant, equipment and subcontractor requirements.
• Managing client relationships and coordinating with engineers and internal teams to ensure works are clearly communicated, appropriately scheduled and delivered to the required standard.
• Providing technical support and guidance on remedial works involving cold water storage tanks, tank relining, pipework, TMVs, RPZ valves and water system disinfection.
• Ensuring works are planned in accordance with relevant health and safety, water hygiene, Legionella and Water Regulations requirements, while monitoring costs, quality and completion.

• Experience producing RAMS, scopes of work and estimates, with strong commercial awareness and an understanding of labour and material costs.
• Excellent communication, organisation and problem-solving skills, with the ability to manage client relationships and work independently in a home-based role.
