Coordinate schedules, teams, and subcontractors to ensure smooth project execution.
• Commercial Control
Manage project budgets, variations, and documentation to ensure commercial control and project transparency.

Basic Skills & Qualifications
• You’re a Problem Solver. You recognise issues, determine key drivers, and make the right trade-offs.
• You Push Improvements. You aren't happy with the status quo. You take initiative and drive results.
• You’re an Energiser. You have a positive attitude, rise to challenges, and adapt to curveballs. You’re always curious to learn.
• You’re a Team Player. You communicate clearly, work collaboratively, and take on feedback.
• You’re Technically Proficient. You have a university degree related to construction or a similar technical discipline. You’re capable of performing the required tasks or learning fast.

Bonus Skills & Qualifications
• Ability to read and produce technical drawings.
• Experience in quoting and materials procurement.

Working Hours
• 37.5 working hours per week
• Working hours are typically 09:00 – 17:30 with a 1-hour lunch break, Monday to Friday

What We Offer
• £27,500 base salary plus performance bonus.
• Structured training and mentoring from experienced project managers, with a clear path to running your own projects.
• Enhanced holiday allowance and paid parental leave.
• Opportunities for continuous development and career progression.
