Secondly you will supervise the work of subcontractors and the quality of the steelworks they supply.

• Coordinate lay-out engineers (internal and external) in the production of 2D drawings and 3D models of structural steelwork.
• Provide up-to-date, accurate and complete reports on time at your own initiative.
