• Reviewing technical drawings and documentation, with a basic understanding of AutoCAD.
• Supporting the preparation and review of tender documentation and project requirements.
• Assisting with project safety documentation and ensuring relevant procedures and requirements are followed.
• Attending project meetings, communicating updates and helping resolve issues as they arise.
• Building relationships with Project Managers, engineers, contractors and other stakeholders across the business.

• A basic understanding of AutoCAD and the ability to interpret technical drawings.
• An awareness of how project decisions affect cost, timescales and delivery.

• Basic Microsoft Excel skills and confidence using standard Microsoft Office applications.
• Strong organisational skills, attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities.
