Contribute to project assessments, training programmes and wider Lean transformation initiatives.

Progressively develop the ability to lead workshops, coach project teams and engage clients independently.

Experience across multiple project stages or construction sites is strongly preferred.

Comfortable working regularly on live construction sites and engaging directly with project teams, supervisors and subcontractors.

A practical understanding of construction sequencing, site coordination and project delivery.

Interest in Lean Construction, collaborative planning and production improvement.

Hands-on experience with the Last Planner System (LPS) is highly preferred; knowledge of Takt Planning is a strong advantage.

Experience in PPVC, DfMA, productivity improvement, BIM or planning tools such as Primavera P6, Microsoft Project or Navisworks will be an advantage.

Strong communication, facilitation and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build trust across different stakeholders.
