The business turns over circa £30m £35m and operates across major projects, typically multi-million-pound schemes. They no longer operate from a traditional office, with their senior team working on a home and site-based model.

Just as importantly, they want someone settled, committed and credible. A CV showing long-term stints with previous employers will carry real weight here.

The role will involve: Managing and supporting Electrical Project Managers across multiple live schemes. Taking a senior view on programme, cost, labour, procurement, quality and client relationships. Working closely with the directors as part of the senior management team. Operating across a flexible home and site-based working model. Supporting long-term business growth across the Manchester, Liverpool and wider North West region. The candidate: Strong electrical building services background. Experience delivering sizeable commercial, residential, hotel, apartment or mixed-use schemes. Able to manage other Project Managers rather than simply run one project personally. Commercially sharp, organised and comfortable with responsibility. Stable employment history and looking for a long-term move.
