You'll be comfortable challenging the status quo, improving how things are done and maintaining high standards of safety, performance and accountability. You'll combine strong people leadership with hands-on experience of delivering capital works through contractors on operational sites. You will know when to empower the team, when to intervene, when to challenge a partner and when to stop work or stop.

Essential experience:

• Managing contractors, framework partners and supply chains.
• Working knowledge of CDM regulations and safe construction delivery.
• Leading and developing high-performing teams.
• Delivering capital programmes or construction schemes in a complex operational environment.
• Strong commercial, financial and programme management capability, including budgeting, forecasting and reporting.
