Why This Role Stands Out: * Work on high-value, high-profile projects that play a pivotal role in the company's growing portfolio. * Join a cash-rich, stable business that has over £150 million in pre-construction, offering excellent career progression opportunities. * Manage design and build projects from inception to completion, ensuring the delivery of top-tier quality on every aspect of the build. * Be part of a collaborative and supportive culture, with a strong emphasis on employee development and career growth. Candidate Profile: * Proven experience in managing Design and Build projects, particularly within the commercial and residential sectors. * Strong leadership and communication skills, able to manage subcontractors and internal teams to meet project goals. * Ability to manage large-scale projects and deliver them on time and within budget. * Proactive problem solver with a keen eye for detail, ensuring projects progress smoothly despite challenges. * Senior-level experience in managing commercial construction projects is essential. Salary: * £70k-£85k per annum, depending on experience, plus a competitive package. Working Arrangement: * Site-based role, ensuring hands-on management of both projects from start to finish. Hiring Process: * 4-12 week notice periods will be considered, allowing flexibility for candidates from various roles. * Interviews will take place over the next couple of weeks, so there is an opportunity to move quickly for the right person
