• Lead the technical review and decision-making process for all construction activities.
• Ensure all designs and delivery plans are aligned with CDM regulations and HSE best practice.
• Drive a right-first-time culture, supporting teams to make safe, efficient and informed choices.
• Monitor programme and budget performance, flagging issues and identifying improvements.
• Work closely with planning, design, and commercial teams to ensure seamless delivery.
• Manage and develop one direct report, providing clear leadership and guidance.
• Support innovation and continuous improvement across systems and processes.
  
  

We would love to hear from you, if you can demonstrate…

You're a safe pair of hands who is calm under pressure, confident in your judgement and committed to doing things right.

Both technical construction expertise and the interpersonal skills to lead discussions, challenge assumptions and guide teams towards the best outcome.
