They will understand the importance of supporting local employment, training, and the local economy, while also developing our support to the communities we work in.
Job Purpose
This full-time role will be based onsite in Billingham, supporting the live construction project and assisting the team with the implementation of Group and Business Unit social value strategies and winning future projects.
