Demonstrable experience managing teams of similar size



Strong background with a Tier 1 or large main contractor



Experience managing multiple projects simultaneously



Excellent leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills



DfE framework experience is advantageous, but not essential



What’s on offer:



Senior leadership role with a top-10 Tier 1 contractor



Responsibility, autonomy, and influence over major commercial decisions



Clear progression opportunities into Commercial Manager or Director-level roles



Long-term security through a strong and diverse project pipeline
