The project has been in detailed 2nd stage and is now getting close to start on site so initially you will be responsible for pre selection and procurement of the packages, agreeing terms and budgets with supply chain and supporting the internal delivery team.

They are fully expecting this delivery model to evolve and develop into a process they can use on every major or complex scheme moving forward so you will be able to have a huge impact on how the business develops.
