  • Driving project governance, reporting, planning and programme management.
  • Providing visible leadership across live construction sites and ensuring safe delivery.
  • Overseeing project budgets, commercial performance and NEC contract administration.
  • Managing risks, early warnings, compensation events and cost recovery opportunities.
  • Building strong relationships with clients, local authorities, utility providers, communities and supply chain partners.
  • Leading construction readiness reviews, mobilisation activities and delivery planning.
  • Supporting business development activities, feasibility studies and work-winning opportunities.
  • Championing continuous improvement, collaboration and high-performance team culture.
Who we're looking for
  • Proven track record of successfully delivering complex highways, infrastructure or civil engineering projects.
  • Experience leading multidisciplinary project teams.
  • Strong stakeholder engagement and client relationship management skills.
  • Commercial awareness with experience of contract administration and cost control.
  • Knowledge of NEC contracts and change management processes.
  • Strong leadership, communication and problem-solving abilities.
  • Experience implementing safe systems of work and driving a positive health and safety culture.
  • Full UK Driving Licence.
