    Supporting procurement, design coordination and construction planning activities.

  * 

    Driving works through testing, commissioning, snagging and final handover.

    Providing regular progress reporting to the Project Director and senior management team.

We are looking for an experienced construction professional with a proven track record of delivering major, technically demanding projects.

Ideally, you will have:

    Previous experience as a Senior Project Manager or Project Manager with a major main contractor.

  * 

    Experience delivering data centres, mission-critical facilities, advanced manufacturing, pharmaceutical, semiconductor or similarly complex projects.

  * 

    A strong understanding of large-scale construction delivery and multidisciplinary package management.

  * 

    Experience managing large subcontractor packages and site delivery teams.

  * 

    Strong programme management and construction planning capabilities.

  * 

    Excellent leadership, communication and stakeholder-management skills.

  *

  * 

    Experience taking projects or major packages through construction, commissioning and handover.
