We're working with a successful commercial construction business that's grown significantly over the past few years. With a strong pipeline of work, an experienced delivery team and a new leadership structure taking shape, they're looking for a Construction Manager to take ownership of construction delivery across the business.
This is a senior leadership position with genuine autonomy. You'll work directly with the Managing Director, alongside the Commercial Manager, and have the opportunity to influence how projects are delivered and how the business operates.

Why consider this role?
The business is well established, has grown considerably and has a strong pipeline of commercial work. It's now putting the leadership structure in place to support that growth and improve how the construction operation runs.

There's an experienced group of PMs to work with, a dedicated commercial function alongside you and the opportunity to introduce improvements that make a genuine difference to project delivery.
