  • Deep understanding of procurement, design coordination, contract admin

  • Proven ability to deliver programmes and manage risks/issues proactively

  • Commercially astute with budgeting, value engineering, and cost control expertise

  • Strong working knowledge of contract forms (NEC, JCT, FIDIC, etc.)

  • Proficiency in Asta Power Project and/or MS Project is desirable

  • Outstanding interpersonal and communication skills

  • A genuine interest in sustainability and progressive construction practices

What's on Offer

  • Access to Aviva Digicare+ including virtual GP and wellbeing support

  • Robust in-house wellbeing services

Who You Are
You're someone who:

  • Wants to make a meaningful impact in the built environment

  • Is curious, creative, and collaborative

  • Enjoys working in a supportive, inclusive team that values quality and purpose
