The role is project-based in Winchester while being part of the Brighton business unit, with occasional travel to the Brighton office as required.

* Champion high standards of safety, quality and environmental performance.
* Mentor and develop members of the project team.
About You
* Experience working for a Tier 1 or leading main contractor.
* Experience delivering projects valued between £15m and £20m.
* Previous experience on Ministry of Justice projects, ideally within a live prison environment.
* Strong client-facing and stakeholder management skills.
* Experience leading projects as the No.1 on site.

* Good understanding of JCT and NEC contracts.
* Able to complete monthly reporting for both internal and external stakeholders.
* Excellent leadership, communication and organisational skills.
* Degree, HNC/HND or equivalent construction qualification preferred.
What's on Offer
