• Knowledge of construction regulations, Health and Safety legislation and compliance requirements.
• Experience within PPP, FM, education, healthcare, public-sector estates or complex multi-site portfolios would be advantageous.
• Commercially aware, organised and confident dealing with senior stakeholders and clients.
