They are looking for a talented individual to support the delivery of services to one of their long-standing retail framework clients within the South East region of England. Working remotely with the rest of the team across the country, the successful candidate will be managing the delivery of projects across the South East, visiting sites and attending meetings as necessary.

• Seeing construction projects through from the site identification stage to post-completion
• Preparing feasibility studies on sites, coordinating ground investigations and surveys, and providing input to relevant reports at the planning stage
• Attending client coordination and design review meetings, typically either in Buckinghamshire, London or Kent
• Attending monthly site progress meetings as projects progress on site, typically across Kent, Sussex, Surrey and Greater London
• Managing commercial aspects of the framework along with the Directors and Associates
