Construction Manager – Heavy Civils Programme
Type: Permanent
Security Clearance: Must be eligible for MOD security clearance
Our client, a leading UK construction company, is seeking a skilled and proactive Construction Manager to join the delivery team on a major long-term infrastructure expansion at a high-security site in Derby.
This is a multi-year, £150m+ programme, and you’ll act as the day-to-day site lead, working directly under the Project Director and liaising with client-side stakeholders. The works include complex groundworks, enabling infrastructure, utilities, and substructures — all within a heavily regulated, live operational environment.
The civils package is being delivered under an NEC Option E contract by a Tier 1 Subcontractor.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead on-site delivery and act as the main interface between the civils delivery team and client-side representatives.
* Oversee groundworks and heavy civils works across a secure, regulated, live environment.
* Manage subcontractors, logistics, temporary works, and health & safety to ensure delivery to programme and quality standards.
* Monitor construction progress, labour/resource allocation, and risk; escalate issues to the Project Director as necessary.
* Maintain high safety and compliance standards, especially in line with MOD regulations and site-specific protocols.
About You
* Demonstrated experience in heavy civils and groundworks within complex infrastructure or secure environments.
* Previous senior site-based delivery role with a Tier 1 subcontractor or equivalent delivery partner.
* Practical, hands-on leadership style with sound understanding of temporary works, logistics, and construction health & safety.
* Familiarity with NEC contracts (particularly Option E) and use of relevant project planning tools.
Qualifications:
* HND or equivalent construction-related qualification (preferred)
* SMSTS
* CSCS (NVQ Level 6 or above)
This is a rare opportunity to play a key leadership role on one of the UK’s most technically significant infrastructure programmes. You’ll join a committed and expert team delivering work that truly makes a long-term impact in a secure, high-performance setting.
