• Chartered status (e.g. RIBA, MICE, CIOB) or on track to achieve it
• A minimum of 8 years' experience in design/project management, preferably within consultancy or design & build settings
• A strong track record in delivering complex infrastructure or aviation-sector projects
• Solid knowledge of planning regulations, JCT/NEC contracts, and public sector procurement processes
