  * Strong understanding of building regulations and health and safety obligations.

  * Excellent stakeholder management skills and the ability to influence at all levels.

  * Experience managing consultants, contractors and multidisciplinary teams.

  * A recognised project management or construction-related professional qualification and ideally membership of a relevant professional body such as RICS.
