  • Maintain oversight of all preparatory activities to ensure they are completed on schedule and within budget.
  • Oversee a package of trials to determine the most suitable technology for the project.

  • Oversee the financial performance of pre-construction activities and technology trials, managing a budget of approximately £6M.

  • Manage the overall programme to ensure all pre-construction and trial outcomes are delivered on time and do not delay project commencement.
  • Provide timely updates on project and trial performance to senior internal and external stakeholders.
  • Engage with key stakeholders to ensure constructability considerations are integrated into planning and design phases.
  • Ensure clear accountability for performance and outcomes across all pre-construction activities and trial management.

Requirements:

  • Proven experience in pre-construction planning and strategy development for major projects.
  • Strong background in managing construction projects, including oversight of enabling works and constructability reviews.
  • Proficiency in using CEMAR or similar contract administration tools.
  • Excellent financial management skills with experience handling significant budgets.
