• Building and maintaining strong working relationships with clients, architects, designers, and contractors

• Proven experience delivering capital investment construction projects, ideally in a senior project management role

• Demonstrable experience taking projects from feasibility through design, site delivery, and handover
• Practical understanding of mechanical and electrical building services, including operation and maintenance

• Ability to translate client briefs into clear construction scopes and design requirements
• Confident communicator, able to engage effectively with a wide range of stakeholders
• ONC / HNC (or equivalent) in a building engineering services or design‑related discipline (experience is prioritised over qualifications)
