You'll lead the project team, manage subcontractor and procurement activities, monitor programme performance and recovery measures, and work closely with the commercial team on budgets, forecasting, cash flow, change control and project profitability.

The project also requires significant coordination with design consultants, utility providers, the client and supply chain, so you'll need to be comfortable managing both the technical detail and the wider commercial and stakeholder relationships.

• Electric vehicle scheme
• Cycle to work scheme
