CITB SMSTS certification and a CSCS Black Card are required. A PMP or other construction-specific qualifications are advantageous.

  • You’ll have proficiency with construction management software, project management tools, and regulatory compliance for site documentation (CPP, RAMS).
  • Proficiency in Outlook, Word, Excel, Teams, Adobe, and Dash Pivot site management software.
  • Strong leadership, negotiation, and conflict resolution skills to manage teams and stakeholders effectively.
