Take Ownership of End-to-End Project Delivery
Reporting to the Client Delivery Manager, you'll manage a portfolio of projects from initial enquiry and quotation through to design, construction, commissioning, handover and close-out.

Experience using Microsoft Project is essential, along with excellent stakeholder management skills, a customer-focused approach and a full UK driving licence.
Experience within utilities, electrical infrastructure or construction environments, as well as knowledge of NEC3/4 contracts, Primavera, NEBOSH or HV/LV networks, would be advantageous.
