You’ll be promoted. If you worked in this job, as the number two in the team you’d be in preparation for the next promotion from day one. You’d sit in with the Director and contribute to the one-to-ones, and slowly start to lead them. You’d build the relationships that make you ready to step up to Associate / Associate Director in the next 12 months. You pitch an idea here, then you’ll lead the roll out and you’ll get the praise and reward.
The manuals and processes are all being updated constantly, if you want something to change this isn’t a massive ship to turn and it’s not their way or the highway. You’ll be in an agile team that can make your life easier immediately when there’s a problem. If you’re ever stretched thin you won’t feel stranded. When it comes to delivery you’d work in a well run team. There’s a weekly meeting where you’ll be encouraged to help improve how you and the team works.
Regional colleagues will cover site inspections not near you, or take meetings when every design team wants to book in on the same day. Diary clashes don’t have to be awkward. You’d work with twelve team members in CDM within a larger organisation of around 100. So the sectors and work will be varied, there’ll be bigger projects which you’ll look after more often than not, while you’ll support the team to do the more run of the mill work. You can also work remotely here. As remotely as you prefer. It doesn’t matter to the boss how you’re doing the work or when you’re doing it, as long as you’re there for the meetings and keeping on top of everything.
At £65k basic with a generous 55p a mile you’ll wish every day was a site visit. You can do more or less of that work in a business that doesn’t mind one bit how much they invest in you. They’ll encourage you to get qualified in Temporary Works Coordination, Fire Assessments, to get deeper into Nebosh etc. As little or as much as you can handle. You’d work in a progressive place, for a progressive boss, offering you… progression from day one.
What you’ll be doing:
- Leading the team on projects, deputising for the Director wherever and whenever required.
- Joining one-to-ones, and Ops meetings with the wider team to learn the business from the inside out.
- Managing projects across Commercial, NHS, Schools and Housing.
- Keeping quality documentation current, accurate and genuinely useful.
- Drawing on regional colleagues to manage workload and cover when needed.
What you’ll need:
- Senior-level experience as a CDM PD or Consultant.
- Confidence managing or developing others.
- Strong communication and the ability to take real ownership.
