  • Oversee strategic logistics planning, coordinating multi-site access, deliveries, and supply chain interfaces.
  • Direct procurement and materials strategies, working closely with key suppliers to maintain programme and quality.
  • Own the master programme, lead recovery planning, and report progress and risk against key milestones.
  • Shape and support the commercial strategy, contributing to variations, claims, cost forecasting, and risk mitigation.
  • Lead and inspire the project team, ensuring clarity of roles, accountability, and performance — including Section 106/social value commitments (apprenticeships, work placements & local employment).
  • Build strong client and stakeholder relationships, chairing structured meetings and ensuring successful delivery outcomes.
  • Drive a proactive, collaborative, and safety‑first culture, influencing behaviours across the entire project.


What you will bring:

  • Decisive and confident leadership under pressure
  • Strong commercial awareness and understanding of project cost drivers
  • Excellent communicator with the ability to influence stakeholders at all levels
  • Deep technical knowledge and the ability to challenge engineering solutions
  • Strategic mindset with strong planning and governance skills
  • High personal integrity, resilience, and a drive for performance excellence
  • Passion for building collaborative, empowered project teams

  • MSc in Civil Engineering or Construction PM

Benefits:

  • 26 days holiday plus bank holidays

Our story starts in 1969 with three brothers and a van.

John, Tom and Pat Carey moved to London from Ireland and started a groundworks contracting company in London called PJ Carey Plant Hire (Oval) Ltd.

Their aspirations at the time were reflective of the values of the Carey Group today – to care about everything they did, to act with humility in all interactions, to be passionate about their work and be authentic at all times.

The Carey Group remains a family-owned construction business, operating across the UK and Ireland. Their goal at the time was to grow to around 50 operatives and provide quality, safe work so that they and their employees could provide for their families and get safe home every day. Through hard work and sticking to their values and their word, this was certainly achieved….and some.

Throughout the years, we have remained committed to delivering on our promises, respecting our clients, offering innovative solutions and producing the highest-quality work in safe environments. These are the core principles set by our Founders, the ones we have never wavered from and they help us to fulfil our ultimate vision to be the most trusted and socially responsible construction company, that people are proud to work with.

Our strong approach is underpinned by robust financial management, continuous investment in our people, specialist equipment and strategic assets and our long-standing culture of teamwork – we want to create the very best environments for our people.

We care about our people and our partners and how we work with them, ensuring we do our best by them. Ultimately, we care about our impact on the world around us and the communities that we proudly help to shape.
