Effective Communication: You’ll maintain strong, open lines of communication with internal teams, clients, suppliers, and statutory stakeholders.

Champion Quality and Continuous Improvement: We’re looking for someone who will not only meet expectations but exceed them. You’ll drive continuous improvement through rigorous quality control, embracing ‘Right First Time’ principles, and ensuring that the project meets or exceeds all quality targets. Manage Resources and Budgets: You’ll be responsible for the allocation and tracking of labour, plant, and materials, ensuring optimal use of resources and efficient project delivery. Your commercial acumen will be key to monitoring budgets and managing project risks. Client & Stakeholder Management: Maintain excellent working relationships with clients and external stakeholders, ensuring their expectations are met and managing any issues that arise with professionalism and transparency. Proactive Problem Solver: You’ll anticipate potential challenges before they arise and manage risks to keep the project on track. Your experience will allow you to navigate complex construction environments and adapt strategies as needed. Personal Qualities & Behaviours:
Passionate about Results: You’re driven to exceed targets and deliver outstanding results. You take pride in your work and your team’s achievements. Dedicated to Excellence: You’re always striving for continuous improvement and looking for ways to innovate, refine processes, and raise standards. Team-Oriented: You put the success of the team first and excel in creating a collaborative environment where everyone’s input is valued. Client-Focused: Your commitment to meeting client expectations is unwavering, ensuring that positive, long-term relationships are built and maintained. Adaptable & Resilient: You’re able to quickly pivot in response to changes and challenges, using your resilience to navigate obstacles and keep the project moving forward.

Certifications: SMSTS, IOSH, or equivalent industry qualifications. Experience: Extensive experience at the General Foreman or Works Manager level, managing large, diverse teams and complex construction operations.
