Review and assess proposed vendors and subcontractors for interior design scopes, evaluating their capability to execute HIVE&rsquo;s finish standards.</li><li>
Conduct regular site walks across projects to inspect installed interior works, proactively identify deviations from the design package, non-conformances, and quality issues before they become costly to resolve.</li><li>
Lead snagging processes for interior scope at the relevant project milestones, producing detailed snagging lists and tracking resolution through to completion.</li><li>
Support the procurement of FF&amp;E and OS&amp;E by reviewing and selecting items within scope, ensuring that selections are consistent with the project&rsquo;s design direction and quality benchmarks.
