Senior Construction Lead

WHY WORK AT JOE & THE JUICE

JOE & THE JUICE is a people-centric food and beverage company built around culture, not just juice, sandwiches, coffee, and much more. When joining us, you step into a high-energy community where the music is loud, the bar is your stage, and your personality matters as much as your skills.

We believe in four simple virtues that shape everything we do:

• Positive Attitude
• Inclusion
• Social Ties
• Growth

For us, this means that when you choose a cup-half-full mindset, welcome people from every background, build real friendships across the bar by creating great guest experiences, and use every shift as a chance to learn something new — you become more than just a Juicer; like us, you continue to search and find purpose and meaning in what you do.

From your first day, you’ll be part of an international network of Juicers who support each other, celebrate wins together, and push each other to grow. You will learn by doing, move through a clear Moneyball career path, and be part of a company where most leaders have earned their stripes behind the bar (fun fact: over 75% of our employees started as Juicers!).

If you love fast-paced service, music, people, and the idea of turning a job into a lifestyle, JOE can become a place to build skills, friendships, and a career that can take you across cities, countries, and roles.

JOB SUMMARY

Position title: Senior Construction Lead

The Senior Construction Lead owns delivery of Joe & the Juice’s new store and renovation programme across the UK and Ireland, running every project from design through construction, handover, and aftercare. You set the standard on programme, cost, and quality, and you’re the go-to expert on bar setup optimisation and layout efficiency.

You lead a team of Construction Project Managers, build the local supplier and contractor network from the ground up, and work hand-in-hand with the Director of Construction & Facilities, Real Estate, and the global growth team to get every store built to a world-class standard - fast, safe, and consistent.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Strategic & Leadership Responsibilities

• Own construction subject-matter expertise for the UK & ROI, especially bar setup optimisation and layout efficiency, partnering with local management and the global growth team.
• Set the local construction strategy: build a strong contractor and supplier network, negotiate commercial terms, and hold performance to account.
• Lead and develop a team of Construction Project Managers - setting scope and process, managing performance, and growing capability as the team scales.
• Partner with Real Estate to own the full lifecycle of every new store project across the UK and Ireland.

Project & Technical Delivery

• Run every stage of new store construction and fit-out - design, construction, and commissioning - through to handover.
• Ensure every project meets landlord, retailer, and UK & ROI regulatory requirements, including planning and building control.
• Read CAD drawings and technical documents fluently, and translate requirements clearly for contractors and consultants.
• Drive site inspections, chair site meetings, catch defects early, and close out snagging to sign-off with Real Estate/Operations.

Commercial & Cost Management

• Know the market cost benchmarks cold - use them to protect commercial value and find efficiencies.
• Build cost estimates and construction schedules, secure financial sign-off, and own variance reporting.asd
