The successful consultant will also be required to do the following: • liaise closely with the SHC Project Team, the designers and contractors throughout the process • contribute to the evaluation of the design, build and installation of the interpretation scheme • attend regular meetings with the project architects • project manage the installation of the interpretation plan
