The role holder will manage a team of approximately 30 people plus sub-contractors, ensuring that effective and efficient services are delivered and maintained, with service levels aligned to contractual KPIs, PI's, and CI's. Monitoring and controlling supplier, sub-contractor, and labor costs to meet financial targets is essential. Building strong relationships with internal and external customers, including sub-contractors, is crucial to ensure services are delivered professionally, promptly, and cost-effectively.

You will be responsible for compiling accurate management reports and information, submitting them timely to stakeholders, and supporting site audits related to quality, health and safety, environment, and finance.

A relevant Health and Safety certification (e.g., IOSH Managing Safely) and knowledge of Quality Management Systems are highly desirable.

The ideal candidate will demonstrate a proven track record managing multi-disciplinary teams, including recruitment, disciplinary actions, grievances, appraisals, and performance management. Experience in operational finance management, such as handling WIP, debt, and billing activities, along with high proficiency in Microsoft applications, is required.
