You have
* A proven track record in project management, ideally gained within construction, HVAC, lighting, building services or a related sector - we value relevant experience over a specific technical background.
* A formal qualification in project management (such as APM, PRINCE2 or equivalent) is desirable, though demonstrable experience of successfully delivering complex projects will be equally considered.
* Experience of leading and managing teams, with the ability to inspire, coach and hold people accountable to deliver results.
* Strong commercial and financial acumen, with experience managing project budgets, margins and programme performance.
* An understanding of Building Management Systems (BMS) would be advantageous, though you do not need to be technically proficient - what matters is the ability to lead the team that delivers them.
