Working closely with the client, contractors, consultants and other project stakeholders, you will provide strong project leadership throughout the construction and delivery phases.

Take ownership of project delivery, ensuring key milestones and deadlines are achieved.

Ensure construction activities are appropriately coordinated and managed.
Work within relevant CDM and construction requirements.
Ensure appropriate governance, documentation and project controls are maintained.
Liaise with the Borough Council and other stakeholders regarding programme and site requirements.
Help manage changes to scope, programme and project requirements as the development progresses.

The ability to coordinate multiple contractors, consultants and project teams.
Strong commercial awareness and an understanding of project cost control.
