The Company:

We are working with a well-established, regional construction group who are active in a number of market sectors.

Their North West region has recently secured a number of new contracts and have the opportunity to bid for further work via a number of key regional procurement frameworks and via private developers with whom they enjoy a good working relationship.

• Prepare master programmes, updating progress and forecasting completions.


• Identify and mitigate risk whilst ensuring Health, Safety and Environmental considerations are taken in to account.


• Work with the rest of the Planning team to identify and champion Best Practice.

You:
