Within the construction environment, you will buy materials, manage large projects, ensure health and safety and customer service across roughly 400 developments in towns and rural areas across the UK, handling projects from brownfield sites to adaptations of existing buildings such as old factories or disused hospitals.

Ensure all plots are built to the highest standard, complying with NHBC Standards, Building Regulations, range specifications and best practice. Conduct company‑directed quality control procedures and inspections at the correct timings, rectifying defects to avoid added cost, time delays, or reduced quality.

With support from the Contracts Manager, ensure the on‑site construction team is fully resourced, directed and trained.
