What’s in it for you
This role offers full autonomy and the freedom to run your own diary, giving you complete control over how you plan your week across sites, home working, and time at the office. It is a position designed for someone who prefers being out on site rather than sitting behind a desk, with regular hands on engagement across active developments. You will also work directly with senior leadership, giving you visibility and influence at a high level while still staying close to day to day site activity. The variety across the region ensures no two weeks look the same, and you will join a supportive and established housebuilder that trusts you to deliver and values your professional judgement. This is a role where you can make a visible impact on safety culture and the way projects are delivered
