• Minimum 5 years post-chartership experience in a leading building or construction consultancy.
• Strong background in design management, defect analysis, and UK construction consultancy contracts.
• Experience in construction monitoring and leading design or technical teams.
• A strategic thinker with excellent organisational skills and a passion for driving business success.
