Key Responsibilities:
* Lead a growing team of Project Engineers across multiple locations
* Act as a senior point of escalation for project or client issues
* Organise and chair team meetings and Management sessions
* Coach and support Project Engineers to develop skills and meet deadlines
* Monitor team performance, delivery, and client satisfaction
* Conduct occasional site visits for relationship-building and oversight
* Ensure commercial protections, reputation management, and client needs are balanced effectively
About You:
* Strong leadership and people management skills
* Solid background in Construction
* Ability to work full-time in an office-based setting with flexibility for site travel
* Comfortable stepping into projects when needed and making commercial or tactical decisions
* A desire to grow within a reputable and expanding organisation
