* Overseeing multiple contracts end-to-end, ensuring deliverables are met on time and within budget
* Planning, scheduling, and coordinating resources across shared teams and concurrent contracts
* Managing budgets, cost tracking, and financial forecasting throughout each contract
* Administering contracts through their full lifecycle — including notices, milestones, variations, change control, and dispute resolution
* Implementing risk management strategies and maintaining quality and compliance standards
* Leading clear communication with clients and internal teams, building strong working relationships
* Coordinating with subcontractors and ensuring job sheets and production requirements are accurate
* Chairing and attending project and site meetings; conducting site surveys as required
* Continuously improving project management processes to drive efficiency and excellence
What we're looking for
* At least 2 years' experience managing complex, multi-disciplinary contracts in civils, groundworks, or infrastructure
* Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously
* Financial management experience including budgeting and project financial oversight
* Excellent communication and leadership skills with a client-focused approach
* Proficiency in MS Project, Excel, Word, Outlook, SharePoint, and PowerPoint
* PRINCE2 or APM qualification
* Full UK driving licence
