The Opportunity:

You will join an established site team comprising a Project Manager, Senior Site Manager, two Site Managers and a Site Engineer, delivering a major new-build development.

The client is prioritising the right person for the project, with a strong emphasis on capability, attitude and practical construction knowledge rather than previous employers alone.
