Managing contractor sign-in / sign-out
Maintaining a clean, safe and compliant site
Acting as the on-site contact point

Solid commercial construction experience
Experience on live sites (healthcare, aged care, education highly regarded)
Strong understanding of site safety
Ability to communicate confidently with trades and clients

Great resume builder in healthcare construction
