The Role

You will be responsible for managing a portfolio of projects, with a combined value of up to £25m per annum. This will include full lifecycle delivery, from early-stage feasibility and design through procurement and into construction and handover.

You will play a key role in ensuring successful project outcomes, balancing programme, cost, and quality, while maintaining clear communication with all stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

• Managing multiple projects simultaneously across their full lifecycle
• Leading projects from inception, through design and procurement, to construction delivery
• Acting in an Employer's Agent capacity during the construction phase (desirable)
• Administering and managing JCT contracts
• Building and maintaining strong relationships with clients and project teams
• Monitoring financial performance and ensuring project profitability

About You

You will bring a strong track record in project delivery within the built environment, ideally gained within a consultancy setting or a blend of consultancy and client-side roles.

Experience across multiple sectors is important, with particular relevance to retail, education, aviation, and hospitality projects.

You will also demonstrate:
