- Act as the primary point of contact for clients on live projects, providing regular progress updates and managing expectations professionally and proactively.
- Plan and coordinate resources — internal teams, subcontractors, and consultants — ensuring the right people are in the right place at the right time.
- Monitor project programmes, identify risks and delays early, and take swift action to keep delivery on track.

- Ensure all works comply with relevant health and safety requirements, method statements, risk assessments, and Harmony’s internal standards.
- Chair and attend project meetings, producing clear minutes and action logs and holding all parties accountable to agreed timelines.
- Support the pre-construction team with programme information, scope clarification, and handover to delivery.
- Identify and develop further opportunities arising from existing client relationships, feeding pipeline back to the Business Development team.
