By the way, Marwan, he said to me to say to you, hi. Oh, okay. Thank you. That's good to hear. Right, PP. Okay, so I spoke to the safety who's running the construction, and he said there's not much for an architect on site at the moment. So what I'm going to do, I'm going to get you to help me with some things which will be good for you in terms of management experience. So the sort of stuff I have in mind, I'm just going to send it to you when I'm finished. Yeah, I said one by one, we will... Yeah, yeah.
So I'll send you the list so you've got it. I'll invite you to the meetings. Yeah, it's better to have me with the invitation to be able to schedule it. Yeah, yeah. I'll set forward with the invites now. I've got a meeting in... But for today, what's the kind of meeting that we have? So today, we've got the progress meeting 1 to 2. Okay. So I'll send you the invite for that. When it comes to the meeting, I've got someone else doing the minutes, but if you could take some notes and then you could help me by... Because the minutes are being done by document control, and they're usually not great, and I have to rewrite them.
So if you can take a few notes and then check the minutes when they come from document control, which will help me because what happens is they are not taking me two hours to rewrite them. So what's the other? Facade meeting. That's fine. Do you also have a facade for tomorrow? That's 11 to 1 tomorrow. Okay, so that's the facade. I've got Debbie for this, but I'll send you the list if not. Okay, so I need to recruit an architectural engineer, a commercial... I'll send you a list of this, but I need to recruit four people still, and some of them are in process, and others are... I've still got to get CVs.
I have one candidate for plan manager, but I'm not sure if he's going to work out. So I sent you an email, and what I want you to do is just follow up with, like, Parsons recruitment to find out when they're going to start. That would help me because it's really causing me a problem, particularly the commercial manager. At the moment, I'm having to write all the letters because I have nobody to write them, so... With who exactly? I'll give you the information. This is just to give you an idea of the kind of things.
I want you to come to the progress meeting, the facade meeting. So we have a weekly progress meeting, which is this afternoon, 1 to 2. On Wednesday, there's a facade meeting, and I'll send you the invite for that. There's also a technical meeting, which is held by Violetta, who manages technical. So I want you to just attend that so you can find out about the issues and see what's going on. I also want you to come to my... I'm holding a senior management meeting once a week. It alternates between here and the site, so I want you to come to that as well and take some notes for me in that meeting.
I want you to, like, attend... When you attend the meetings, we'll give you some actions to follow up on architectural things like facade so that you've got some work that is, you know, more in line with your experience of a mixture of some technical problem-solving. Help me with some management tasks that I have to do, and also get out on site and I'll get you trained to use the open space. Have you seen open space come across it? Open space is a system where we take photo and upload it onto a portal that the client can see, and you can take 360 videos where you can also take site notes on it.
You can go out and take a photo and put some notes on it. So you'll come out with me on some inspections, so I'll show you the sort of thing I'm looking for, and then I want you to be able to go to site, have a look around, pick up some issues, and make notes about them and then follow up and let me know and close them out. So those are the sort of things. One by one, you can be with us. Pardon? Yeah, I said one by one, we will... Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so I'll send you the list so you've got it.
I'll invite you to the meetings. Yeah, it's better to have me with the invite and to be... I can schedule it. Yeah, yeah, I'll set forward with the invites now. I've got a meeting in...

Because the minutes are being done by document control, and they're usually not great and I have to rewrite them.
So if you can take a few notes and then you can check the minutes when they come from document control, which will help me because what happens is they end up taking me two hours to rewrite them. So what's the other? Facade meeting. I'll send you the other as well. That's fine. Do you also have a facade for tomorrow? That's 11 to 1 tomorrow. Okay, so that's the facade.

It's actually prepared by our Sergeant Merza. When that's done, I just want you to check them for me and see before I check them if you have a look at them and correct anything you notice, just to get you used to what is expected as well on the minutes.
Have you done the minutes before? Yeah, I'm not too much. In everything I collect, it's the same. So, here we are. You have a look at them, I'll have a look at them, but you'll get used to looking at them and hopefully just check them or just make the corrections yourself. Okay, so that's about all I've got for you on now. If you talk to Matthew... Matthew, yes. About an induction... I already do that induction of the... You already did it? Yeah, since before, yeah. When you have the... So you've had the induction, you just haven't.
Anything for me? No, not yet. Maybe later. Thank you.
