ABOUT THE ROLE
I am looking for someone who is either already a Construction Director / Operations Director that has a strong background working for rival RC structures and groundwork subcontractors in the UK, or someone who has hit a glass ceiling where they are and is in search of that next step up to Construction Director level because they are ready for it (again must be from a rival contractor though in a Senior Contracts Manager or similar position).
If you’ve worked in this sector at either of those levels, you’ll know what is involved in the day-to-day duties; Your position will sit alongside the people at the top of the business and will effectively report to the existing ower while overseeing operations across multiple live sites where concrete structures, groundwork, and civils packages are being completed (package values range from £1m up to £10m each). You’ll be expected to oversee and develop the site-based management and teams, while integrating with the various clients of the business to make sure projects are carried out in the best manner possible. And yes, while programme deadlines, budgets and safety on every site are crucial to any successful contractor in this field, you’ll also be one of the senior members of the team whose responsibility it is to develop client relationships and to make sure everything keeps moving in the right direction (and making improvements along the way too).
I should highlight, though, that you won’t be doing all of this alone. The team at this business works together.
REQUIREMENTS
To be successful, I am looking for individuals who have worked in this position or who are ready for this position, who have a strong background working for concrete structures, groundwork, and civils subcontractors in the UK.
It has also been specified that I am only to consider people who have held stable periods of time with each employer, as this position is important and my client only wants to consider people who are in it for the long run.
I would expect that individuals will either be degree qualified in civil engineering or construction management.
REWARDS AND BENEFITS
This is a director-level role, where you will have ownership of your own department and a seat at the table to help influence the future of this business, so obviously, the package will fit the level of responsibility. So, I’m open to considering what people are currently on versus what they are looking for, salary and benefits-wise.
So, in short, if you are successful in getting this opportunity, you’ll be paid well with benefits at every level down the road. All fantastic opportunities should offer fantastic rewards, and this one will not disappoint. Including the chance for company shares.
