Latimer, the development arm of Clarion Housing Group, is looking for ambitious graduates to join our Construction Delivery Graduate Programme in London.What Construction Delivery DoesWe look after Latimer and Clarion’s interests on every scheme, whether we’re the client, a joint venture partner or buying the affordable homes on a Section 106 scheme. We’re the eyes and ears on site, owning each scheme from pre-construction to the end of the defects period and beyond. We work closely with contractors, Employer’s Agents, consultants, and partners, and hold them to account on safety, quality, customer outcomes, cost and programme. Every home we deliver should be one we’d be proud to live in.What You'll DoAs a Construction Delivery Graduate you will be part of that from day one. This is not an admin role. You will be on live sites across the region, from high-rise and higher-risk buildings to large regeneration and joint venture schemes, working alongside experienced Construction Delivery Managers, many of them chartered.No two days are the same. Construction Delivery sits at the centre of every scheme, where safety, quality, cost, programme and the customer all come together, and we are relied on to make the decisions that keep it on track. One day you could be on site inspecting work with our Clerks of Works, the next reviewing a contractor’s valuation, working through a contractual claim or getting a building ready for its first residents. You will need to think on your feet, and you will build client-side project, commercial and construction management skills that few graduate roles offer this early.Construction project managementSite inspections and quality assuranceContractor and consultant managementBuilding safety and regulatory complianceCommercial and financial monitoringPractical completion, handover and defects managementYear 1: Learning the schemeIn your first year, you'll develop a strong understanding of construction delivery and how residential developments are brought to life.Be an integral part of a Construction Delivery team and help it hit its targets on safety, quality, cost, programme and customer experienceCarry out regular site inspections with our Clerks of Works and Quality Inspectors, tracking quality issues through to close-outMonitor contractor progress against programme and the building contract, working with Employer’s Agents on valuations, variations and contract administrationKeep cost, programme and key dates up to date in Pamwin, our commercial appraisal software, and track each project against its scheme approvalWork across Development, the wider Commercial Company and the Housing Association, keeping customers at the heart of everything as we build on our 5-star builder ratingYear 2: Taking ownershipBuild relationships with Local Authorities, developer and delivery partners and housing colleagues, and represent Latimer at meetings and networking eventsTake on project management duties, managing budgets and programmes to deliver on time, cost and qualityTake the baton from our Land and Project and Development Management colleagues before start on site, and carry it through to practical completion, handover to our Housing and Customer teams, and the end of the defects period and beyondConstruction Delivery often holds the longest relationships on a scheme, so you’ll make sure the right information, warranties and handover documents are in place at every stageSupport our Building Safety Act duties on higher-risk buildings, including Gateway 2 and Gateway 3 submissions and maintaining the golden thread of informationUnderstand and support our duties as client under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015Help manage defects through the defects period, working with contractors and our customer teams to resolve issues promptlyCheck build quality meets our requirements as client, in line with our contractsBy the end of the programme, you will have developed the technical, commercial and project management skills required for a long-term career in Construction Delivery.Investment In Your CareerFull RICS professional qualification supportRegular development sessions with fellow graduatesMentoring from experienced professionals and former graduatesExposure to major residential developmentsA clear pathway into a permanent Construction Delivery roleWhat We're Looking ForA minimum 2:1 degree in Construction Management or a related disciplineTalented and self-motivated individuals with a proven track record of successfully applying themselves both academically and through relevant work experience.Strong communication and relationship-building skillsThe ability to solve problems and manage competing prioritiesA willingness to learn and develop in a fast-paced environmentAmbitious team players who can use their initiative to ensure personal and business success.A genuine passion to help make a difference and contribute to shaping the success of the Development team,What You'll Get25-33 days holiday (increases over time) & holiday trading scheme10% pension matching & life assurance (4x salary)Up to 5% annual bonusWellbeing day in your birthday monthFlexible benefits (1% of salary for gym, dental, health screening) & discounts with 700+ retailersSeason ticket loansOne professional membership per year paidWork that mattersOne More ThingWe're the UK's largest housing provider because we're trying to solve a problem that matters.
