Who is Mick George?
One Man, One Tipper, One dream, may seem a distant memory, but the dream is very much a reality, as we find ourselves approaching 40 years since the business started trading.
Now operating over 600 HGV vehicles from over 40 separate sites, employing more than 1,000 local people, gives an indication of the scale to which the business has evolved over the years and explains why the Mick George Group has grown to become one of the leading suppliers to the Construction Industry in the heart of East Anglia and East Midlands.

Our aim is to ensure that we provide the highest possible standards to each and every stakeholder that comes in to contact with any aspect of our business, whether that be as an employee, supplier, customer or other.

Overview:
We are seeking an experienced and proactive Project Manager to lead the delivery of the South East Aylesbury Link Road (SEALR) – a high-profile infrastructure scheme forming part of a wider strategic transport network in Buckinghamshire.
This is a key leadership role requiring a hands-on Project manager with a strong background in Earthworks and a proven track record delivering highways, civils or infrastructure projects under NEC contracts.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead day-to-day site operations, ensuring safe, efficient, and timely delivery of all works.
• Manage the import of materials to construct the Embankment, including all associated testing, compliance, and materials management.
• Drive programme performance, identify risks, and implement mitigation measures to avoid delays.
• Administer the NEC Option B contract, including Early Warnings, Compensation Events, and robust change control procedures.
• Collaborate effectively with clients, designers, statutory authorities, and internal teams.
• Take ownership of quality assurance, ensuring compliance with specifications, ITPs, and audit requirements.
• Promote a strong safety culture and lead and implement regular HSEQ inspections and RAMS reviews.
• Oversee performance, plant coordination, and site logistics.
• Provide accurate reporting, contribute to cost forecasting and commercial closeout processes.
• Produce clear, professional presentations to communicate project progress, materials management plans, lookahead plans, and sequencing to internal and external stakeholders.

What We’re Looking For:

• Minimum 5 years’ experience managing major highways or infrastructure schemes (£10m+).
• Strong technical knowledge of earthworks, materials, and road construction.
• Proficient in NEC contract management, particularly Option B.
• Excellent leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• Confident in preparing and delivering project updates through presentations, visual aids, and progress reports.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multidisciplinary teams and multiple stakeholders.
• Competent in project controls, reporting, and risk management.
• SMSTS, CSCS (Black or White Card), and First Aid at Work certifications.
