The Person

  • You will ideally possess a relevant qualification (civil, structural, geotechnical etc) or be suitably qualified through experience
  • To have a proven track record in hands on contracts and projects management within the aforementioned sectors
  • To have run contracts with a diplomatic and pragmatic approach, but also with a hands-on attitude to clients, sub-contractors and people management
  • To have had first-hand experience of contracts management, and therefore able to demonstrate a tenacious, lead from the front approach, whilst also having previous experience of working in a client end user focused environment
  • Good levels of experience at both pre and post contract stage
  • Full, valid UK driving licence.
