Are you currently working in a construction or project delivery role such as building surveying, quantity surveying or project management?

Would you like to step away from constant site delivery into a respected technical advisory role where you become a trusted expert, influence projects across an entire region, and enjoy genuine flexibility and long-term career progression?

This well-established not-for-profit organisation operates at the heart of public sector construction, supporting local authorities, housing providers and public bodies to deliver compliant, high-quality and value-driven building programmes that improve homes, buildings and communities across the UK.

Known for its people-first culture, strong internal progression and investment in development, it offers a rare combination of autonomy, purpose and security - alongside one of the most attractive benefits packages in the sector.

In this regional field-based role covering the North East and North West, you'll act as the technical link between public sector clients and appointed contractors, ensuring construction projects are delivered to the highest standards of quality, compliance and value. You'll provide hands-on technical support, attend sites, resolve issues, validate compliance and build trusted relationships with stakeholders across the region.

You'll also help shape and improve national construction frameworks by sharing regional insight and technical expertise - giving you influence beyond individual projects.

This role is primarily field based, with hybrid working and one fixed office day per week.

• Confident working on site and with senior stakeholders
• Commercially aware with strong organisational and analytical skills
