Working within a Project Team, you’ll be fully involved in project delivery, gaining insight into how Project Managers and the team around them engage with key stakeholders, build relationships, create effective work plans, and oversee the day-to-day operations of a project.
In this stream, you’ll gain insight into the role of a Site Manager and the requirements of running an organised, safe and productive site.
