* Strong knowledge of UK building regulations, CDM 2015, planning processes, and health & safety best practices.
* Degree (or equivalent) in Construction Management, Project Management, Civil/Structural Engineering, Building Surveying, or a related discipline.
* Professional qualification/membership preferred (e.g., MCIOB, MRICS, APM PMQ/PRINCE2, or working towards chartership).

Essential Skills & Attributes
* Excellent leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
* Strong commercial acumen with proven ability to manage budgets, variations, and value engineering.
* Organised, proactive, and solutions-focused approach to problem-solving.
* Ability to work under pressure in a fast-paced site environment.
* Full UK driving licence (desirable).
