• You'll help ensure designs and construction meet Trust standards, healthcare requirements, statutory obligations and the needs of patients, staff and services.
• You'll coordinate enabling works, decanting, service moves and commissioning, helping to minimise disruption to live clinical services.
• You'll prepare project documentation, reports and presentations for project and governance meetings, maintain accurate records and ensure stakeholders are kept informed throughout delivery.
