• Strong working knowledge of Primavera P6
• Good understanding of UK construction processes and methodologies
• Strong organisational and communication skills
• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively with pre-construction and site teams
• Join a tight-knit, growing business where your input will be valued and visible
