  • Drive effective change management and ensure contract compliance.
  • Chair monthly contract reviews and report into the Senior Leadership Team.
  • Build trusted relationships with clients, understanding their drivers and anticipating future opportunities.
  • Promote DfMA principles and smarter, technology-led delivery methods.
ABOUT YOU

You'll be a seasoned contracts or project delivery professional with experience in a Tier 1 contracting or offsite manufacturing environment. You'll bring commercial acumen, strong client-facing skills, and a genuine passion for developing people.

We'd love to hear from you if you:

  • Hold a degree in Engineering, Construction Management or a related field.
  • Have led multidisciplinary teams on complex manufacturing or construction projects.
  • Thrive on coaching and enabling others to perform at their best.
  • Communicate clearly, build trust quickly and manage multiple priorities with ease.
