Reporting to the Construction Director and visiting Contracts Manager you will be responsible for managing the project through the end of the preconstruction phase, ready to start on site and throughout the construction phase.

Projects range in size from £5m to £15m, secured through a mixture of national and regional frameworks, negotiated schemes with repeat clients and competitive tenders. There is a good pipeline of future workload, with 50% of turnover already secured for 2027.
