This is a leadership role responsible for ensuring projects are delivered safely, profitably and to the highest standards of customer satisfaction.

Key responsibilities

• Work with BDMs using your experience and contacts to reach and develop further relationships.
• Manage a portfolio of multi-Utility residential projects, monitoring project performance against programme, budget and quality targets.

• Ensure projects are delivered in accordance with client requirements and contractual obligations and accreditations.
• Manage change control, variations and contractual risks.
• Provide regular operational and commercial reporting.
• Coordinate electricity, gas and water installations across multiple sites and ensure resources are effectively allocated to meet delivery programmes.
• Liaise with DNOs, IDNOs, Water Authorities and Gas Transporter
• Drive continuous improvement and delivery efficiencies.
• Manage project revenue, margin, cash flow and financial performance, maximising commercial opportunities and mitigating risks.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with developers, housebuilders and strategic customers, acting as the senior point of contact and managing key meetings and escalations.
• Promote a positive safety culture by ensuring compliance with CDM, NRSWA and company procedures through inspections, audits, RAMS reviews and incident investigations.
