The business delivers a range of projects, including new-build production facilities, factory expansions, refurbishments, industrial fit-outs and facility upgrades.

This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated Project Manager who enjoys taking ownership of projects, coordinating multidisciplinary teams and delivering high-quality construction schemes in technically demanding environments.

The Role

What's on Offer?

• The opportunity to manage interesting and technically challenging construction projects.
