With a strong order book and a reputation for delivering complex projects valued between 20m and 50m, they are now looking to appoint a Senior Site Manager for a flagship 40 million life sciences scheme in Oxford.

Once complete, the scheme will provide cutting-edge research, laboratory and innovation space for the growing life sciences sector. The project presents all the challenges that experienced construction professionals enjoy, including complex logistics, phased delivery, significant M&E integration, high-specification internal finishes and the coordination of multiple subcontractors across both refurbishment and new build work streams.
