  • Continuous Improvement: Capture lessons learned and refine processes for future roll-outs.

What We're Looking For:

  • Proven experience managing multi-site retail or hospitality fit-outs and new builds
  • Strong project management skills with a capex portfolio of 5m
  • In-depth knowledge of UK building regulations, CDM 2015, and H&S legislation
