• Ensure all plant, machinery, and equipment on site is inspected daily by competent operators, that inspection checklists are completed diligently, and that any defective equipment is immediately tagged out of service and removed from the work area.

• A valid driver's licence and own reliable transport to travel between the office and construction sites as required.
• A minimum of five years of construction industry experience with at least two years in a supervisory or management role.
