About the Role

You will support projects involving clinical and non-clinical areas, including new developments, refurbishments, service relocations and changes to the use of existing accommodation. You will work across multiple project stages, helping to develop feasibility options, spatial layouts, specifications, cost estimates and business case information. The role also involves coordinating surveys and site access, supporting tender and contract processes, monitoring work on site, and assisting with commissioning, handover and post-project reviews. A key part of the role will be bringing together different professional groups to ensure that clinical, operational, technical, digital, equipment and infection prevention requirements are fully considered.
