What We’re Looking For

• Extensive experience in a Project Manager role within civil engineering or infrastructure construction.
• Demonstrated experience on similar projects (e.g., groundworks, drainage, water/sewage treatment).
• HND, NVQ Level 7, or equivalent qualification in a construction/civil engineering discipline.
• SMSTS or NEBOSH Construction Certificate, and a valid CSCS Managers Card.
• Strong working knowledge of NEC contracts, risk management, and change control.
