  • Leading a global innovation and improvement process for specialist disciplines.
  • Developing and deploying a global digital/technology strategy for specialist disciplines.
  • Strengthening our methods/approaches in the identification and pursuit of large opportunities.
  • Setting global standards and driving quality assurance.
Further accountabilities:
  • Authoring business plans and driving change through change programs in order to ensure our global Specialist disciplines are of a high and consistent quality and that our service offers are appropriate to our global market opportunities.
  • Work with respective Specialist Discipline Leaders in each region to organise and lead on design reviews, providing a plan for each Discipline, driving actions appropriately via change programs or the monitoring of the discipline work towards their plans.
  • Support each Specialist Discipline Lead to help them improve their Discipline in relation to overall profitability, growth and technical capability.
  • Identify trends and analysis through market research to assist the Disciplines in their strategic plans.
  • Provide analysis for each region with agreed action on specific areas they want to grow.
  • Support with the attraction and recruitment into these disciplines.
  • Acting as an inter-disciplinary ‘change maker’ – driving integration across disciplines through projects, shared innovations, and instigating / leading interdisciplinary workshops or working groups on relevant topics - e.g. Net Zero, Digital, Social Value, etc.
  • Taking a data-driven and technology-first approach to increase efficiency, collaboration, and innovation.
Your skills & experience
  • Experience in the built environment design and construction industries, operating at a senior level.
