- oversee day‑to‑day operations
- lead and motivate site‑based teams

This role requires a strong on‑site presence, practical problem‑solving, and the confidence to manage people, performance, and client expectations in a fast‑paced operational environment. You will play a key role in monitoring productivity, supporting winter and summer programmes, identifying opportunities for additional works, and driving continuous improvement across the contracts.
Key Responsibilities
