Job Description

Senior Construction Manager Cambridge City Centre 3m Live Refurbishment

Bigblue are working with a well established contractor on a 3 million refurbishment scheme in the heart of Cambridge.

This is a live environment project, so you'll be keeping works moving safely and smoothly while the building stays occupied and operational. There's a strong focus on M&E packages alongside some complex joinery works, so experience coordinating both will really set you apart.

You'll be running the site on a standalone basis, reporting into a visiting Project Manager, which means you'll need the confidence to make decisions and own the day to day delivery.

Key responsibilities

  • Full management of a 3m refurbishment in a live environment
  • Coordinating and overseeing M&E packages and specialist joinery subcontractors
  • Liaising directly with clients and consultants, building strong working relationships
  • Preparing and delivering progress reports and PowerPoint presentations
  • Maintaining high standards of health and safety, quality and programme

What we're looking for

  • Proven experience as a Senior Construction Manager or Construction Manager on refurbishment projects
  • Track record of delivering works in live or occupied buildings
  • Solid understanding of M&E and complex joinery packages
  • Comfortable working standalone and taking ownership of a site
  • Confident with computers, including producing professional PowerPoint presentations
  • Excellent communication skills with clients and consultants
  • SMSTS, CSCS and First Aid
