Comfortable reading and interpreting construction drawings, you also have practical experience using Microsoft Office applications. You're a dependable team player who works collaboratively to achieve shared goals and may have experience working with subcontractors or in a supervisory role, such as an Assistant or Site Manager. Additional training in site safety or tools would be an advantage. Why Join Us? At Watkin Jones, we believe in investing in our people.
