The Opportunity
We are working in partnership with a highly established and

delivery.
This is a varied, high-impact position requiring a strong
understanding of construction contracts, contractual risk and
stakeholder management. National travel will be required as part

ensuring delivery is achieved on time, within budget and to the
required quality standards.
* Risk Management & Compliance: Monitor contractual performance,
manage defects liability periods and ensure compliance with
relevant contractual and regulatory requirements.

teams, site personnel and external consultants to resolve
contractual and delivery issues.

and project delivery.
* The ability to manage multiple projects and competing
priorities.
* Excellent communication, negotiation and stakeholder management
skills.
* A proactive and commercially focused approach, with the
confidence to work autonomously and collaboratively.

strong reputation within the UK residential development and
construction sector.
