• Develop and manage project programmes, budgets, forecasts and resource plans.
• Monitor progress, productivity, costs, quality and compliance throughout the project lifecycle.
• Ensure all works are undertaken in accordance with health, safety and environmental requirements.
• Manage subcontractor performance, procurement activities, variations and commercial risks.
• Coordinate design development, technical submissions, approvals and construction interfaces.
• Maintain clear communication with clients, consultants, project teams and supply chain partners.
• Identify issues and opportunities early, implementing effective mitigation and recovery plans.
• Prepare regular project reports, forecasts and performance updates for senior management.
• Support the successful handover, completion and close-out of projects.

About you

You will have proven experience managing heavy civil engineering or infrastructure projects, ideally with responsibility for complex programmes, significant budgets and multidisciplinary teams. A relevant qualification in civil engineering, construction management or a related discipline is desirable, along with recognised project management or site management credentials.

You should be commercially astute, highly organised and confident making decisions in a demanding project environment. Strong communication, negotiation and problem-solving skills are essential, as is a demonstrable commitment to safety, quality and continuous improvement. The ability to manage competing priorities while maintaining a collaborative and professional approach will be key to your success.
