• You will have a strong track record of delivering major building packages, preferably gained in complex Infrastructure, Manufacturing or Industrial sectors
• Be comfortable operating within a large project team, managing competing priorities and taking full accountability for delivery
• Have an appreciation of the NEC form of contract, although this is a nice to have, not an essential.
