  • Ensure compliance with health & safety standards and site certifications
  • Manage budgets, timelines, and quality control
  • Coordinate with M&E companies and internal teams
  • Provide input on plastering, ceilings, and general construction elements

Ideal Candidate

  • Based in the South (Surrey, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire or surrounding areas)
  • Easy commute to London and South East sites
  • Background in construction, interiors, or fit-out
  • Experience with commercial and education projects
  • Comfortable managing multiple stakeholders and technical disciplines
  • Knowledge of plastering, ceilings, and general trades preferred
  • Willing to be client-facing and take ownership of project delivery

Qualifications

  • SMSTS or SSSTS
