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

    • A typical day involves liaising with subcontractors in helping to procure packages. I also get involved with site members in order to widen my construction knowledge. At the moment I am involved with several packages such as tiling and soft flooring etc.
