• Using laser levels and surveying equipment to ensure drainage falls and tie-ins meet specification

• Acting as the main point of contact for the Main Contractor’s Site Engineer or Section Manager

• Supervising sub-contracted elements such as white lining, ironwork adjustments or planing contractors

• Managing time, paperwork and site documentation in line with KPI expectations

• Supporting strategic initiatives and maintaining strong site performance culture

What You’ll Bring

• Supervisory experience within the surfacing industry

• Experience as a Lead Ganger or Foreman ready to progress into a formal supervisory role
