The job roughly divides into 6 parts, but often these parts overlap and merge. 1.Looking after the site and the buildings: This can involve sorting building specifications, talking to architects, planners and dealing with all the range of building contractors when a new building is needed. It can also mean unblocking a drain during a crisis and repairing damage after an accident. Jobs like security, issue and control of locks, intruder alarms, sorting the rubbish, disposal and organising recycling all come under his responsibility. 2.Keeping the site safe and compliant with the law and the appropriate regulations: To do this properly he needs to know the laws and regulations or at least to know a man who does.
