The Opportunity

This role offers full ownership of projects from initial client engagement through to completion and final account, with a strong focus on commercial delivery, site activity, and stakeholder management.

  • Ensure all works meet Health & Safety, quality, and compliance standards


  • Prepare and manage RAMS and Construction Phase Plans (CPPs)


  • Conduct site audits and safety inspections aligned to KPI requirements


  • Oversee project financials, including costing, invoicing, and reporting


  • Attend labour planning, management, and H&S meetings


    Core Duties

    • Site visits and project scoping


    • Procurement and subcontractor engagement


    • Quoting and commercial negotiation


    • Managing technical queries


    • Coordinating materials and labour resources


    • Full project lifecycle management


    • Managing final accounts and invoicing


    • Identifying and pricing remedial works following inspections

      Essential:

      • Proven experience in commercial installations, refits, and refurbishments


      • Strong M&E background


      • Extensive knowledge of CDM Regulations 2015


      • Experience managing multiple stakeholders and subcontractors


      • Strong commercial and financial awareness


        Desirable:

        • Experience within water or utilities projects


          Key Skills

          • Strong organisational and planning ability


          • Excellent communication and client-facing skills


          • High level of commercial awareness


          • Effective leadership and team management


          • Ability to motivate and drive site teams


          • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills


          • Professional, adaptable, and solutions-focused approach


            What’s on Offer

            • Salary circa £65,000 + package


            • Opportunity to deliver high-value commercial install and refurbishment projects


            • A role with real autonomy, responsibility, and client interaction


            • Long-term opportunity within a growing and forward-thinking business
