  • To fulfil Principle Designer role responsibilities i.e. lead in planning, managing, monitoring, and coordinating health and safety.
  • To build and maintain and communicate a detailed programme (project plan), including ensuring it is aligned with commercial expectations, and presented to internal stakeholders and the landlords.
  • To provide effective financial/budget management – ensure the project remains on budget and any change or deviation to spend is clearly and effectively translated to and managed with the Project Manager and senior management. Manage payment schedule and associated approvals of work according to milestones. Evaluate any additional costs, challenge, and manage with contractors.
  • To effectively collaborate with internal senior management, possibly to C level, along with key stakeholders, contractors, and partners.
  • Closely and effectively manage and communicate Work-stream Risks, Issues, Dependencies, Actions and Decisions.
