I have been working on the Olympic Park for over a year as Assistant Supervisor for Enabling works on Construction Zones 1 and 2.

Enabling works is a catch-all term for demolition, remediation (cleaning the soil to get rid of contamination) and general site clearance, as well as some not insignificant structures and utility work.

My role involves working for the Project Management team out on site, in close contact with the contractor carrying out the works on my designated zones.
