• Extensive experience as a Site Manager on civils and infrastructure projects.

• Proven experience with deep sheet piling operations, preferably in river or marine environments.

• SMSTS, CSCS (Black or Gold), and First Aid certifications.

• Experience dealing with failed piling systems and implementing corrective measures is a strong advantage.
