• Collaborate with internal stakeholders across project management, engineering, and FM to deliver integrated solutions.
• Lead innovation and digital tool implementation to enhance client insight, cost control, and reporting accuracy.

• Confidence in managing contract forms such as NEC and JCT.
• Strong commercial acumen, leadership, communication, and negotiation skills.
• Proven experience managing teams and developing junior talent.
• Client-focused, relationship-driven, with the ability to develop new business opportunities.
