Are you an experienced Build Manager looking to take ownership of large-scale, complex projects from the ground up?

• Ensure compliance with all health, safety, and environmental policies
• Represent the company at client meetings and progress reviews

You’ll be a confident and capable construction leader who’s delivered high-value, technically demanding projects. You thrive in a fast-paced environment, have strong attention to detail, and can build effective relationships across all levels.

• Proven experience as a Project Director or Senior Project Manager
• Experience delivering projects in excess of £50m, ideally up to £80m
• A background with a Tier 1 or leading regional main contractor
• Excellent understanding of construction methodologies, sequencing, and programme control
