• Budget & Risk Management: Track project budgets, identify and mitigate risks, and ensure cost-effective solutions without compromising on quality.
• Health, Safety & Compliance: Ensure all projects comply with relevant health and safety legislation, building regulations, and industry standards
• Reporting: Produce regular internal and client-facing progress reports, ensuring clear documentation of milestones, variations, and performance metrics.

• Excellent stakeholder management, scheduling, and team coordination skills.
• Strong commercial awareness with experience managing budgets and contracts.
• Proficient with MS Office and project management tools (MS Project, Asana, or equivalent).
• Full UK driving licence (or equivalent).

Desirable Qualifications
