The role:
- Managing projects from tender through to final account.
- Running your own jobs independently.

- Used to running projects independently.
- Commercially sharp.
- Confident making decisions.
- Personable and easy to work with.
- Resilient and able to cope with a fast-paced environment.
- Practical rather than precious.
- Happy to get involved and support the wider team.
- Smart, organised and driven.
The type of person who succeeds here:
You'll probably be someone who enjoys responsibility. You don't need your hand held. You know construction. You understand people. You can have the difficult conversations when needed, but you also build trust quickly. Above all, you're someone who wants to deliver great projects while making the business money. If that sounds like you, we'd love to speak with you.
