Opportunity to build and shape a growing pre construction function. Exposure to complex, high-profile projects. Long-term career progression as the business continues to expand. Stable pipeline of secured work. Collaborative culture where ideas and innovation are encouraged. Join a business that invests in people, systems and long-term growth. Security Requirements Due to the nature of the projects undertaken, applicants must be eligible to obtain UK security clearance.
