• Working closely with operational teams to ensure projects are delivered on budget and maximise profitability.
• Attending site meetings and carrying out site visits as required.
• Supporting the successful delivery of projects under local authority and framework contracts.

The role will involve a mixture of office and site-based working, providing regular exposure to live projects and key stakeholders.
