About The Role

We’re looking for a Head of Account Management to join our Regional Construction Business who enjoys building strong relationships and working collaboratively to help customers achieve great outcomes.

If you’re passionate about the construction sector and comfortable navigating a mix of major private clients and public bodies, this could be a rewarding next step.

• Lead our approach to customer relationships, making our customers feel supported and well understood.
• Reach out to new customers and develop fresh partnerships that align with our strengths and values.
• Work closely with colleagues across bids, commercial, operations and delivery to shape clear, compelling proposals.
• Support the customer journey through delivery, ensuring a smooth experience from initial engagement through to project completion.
• Offer guidance on private and public sector procurement routes and contract models.

• Experience in account management or business development within the building sector delivering multi‑million pound complex projects.
• A solid understanding of major private and public sector procurement and how different contract models work in practice.
• A collaborative style, and the ability to build trust with both customers and internal teams.
• Strong communication skills and a natural ability to listen, understand and support client needs.

Day in, day out, our teams deliver some of the UK’s most ambitious, exciting and meaningful projects—developing, building and maintaining the vital infrastructure that supports national economies and strengthens communities.

As if contributing to and supporting work that makes life better for millions wasn’t rewarding enough, we offer a full range of benefits. You’ll have the freedom to shape the package that’s right for you and your life. Here are some of our key benefits:

• Smart working, giving you more flexibility such as staggered start and finish times, with up to 40% remote working where roles allow.
• 25 days paid annual leave (pro rata).
• Family‑friendly policies which include 28 weeks full pay for maternity/adoption leave and four weeks full pay for paternity/partner leave.
• Pension, share incentive plan, volunteering leave, recognition schemes and much more.

Operating across England and Wales, our building teams create places where people live, are cared for, work, learn, meet and have fun, with a focus on the aviation, health, defence, education and development sectors.
