• Team leadership: provide clear direction to the site team, ensure consistent performance and foster a positive, professional working environment
• Customer journey: liaise with the Sales and Customer Service teams to support choices, extras, handovers and customer satisfaction at every stage

What you'll bring to the team:

We are a design-led and quality-driven business, so experience delivering high-end developments is essential.
