  • Timely decision-making for effective allocation/re-allocation of resources within priorities that change on a day-to-day basis.
  • Definition of a regular system of review of work progress and resource allocation in order to provide a useful overview of the whole of the ongoing construction work.

  • An expert level knowledge of how to effectively use Gantt charts, including complete fluency in Microsoft Project or equivalent program. You should also be able to create Gantt charts with Excel.
  • Must be able to manage competing demands, accept criticism and constructive feedback, while being extremely adaptable and flexible.
