Projects you will be involved on will be valued up to £40M, and these range from top-down demolition to complex cut and carve structures with hydraulic jacking, infilling within retrofit projects and newbuild large towers with deep basements. About the requirements: To be considered for this opportunity, you must hold an industry-related degree and proven experience of either working onsite as a Project Engineer or Project Manager within RC/Build environments, ideally within Central London (and be keen to move into Preconstruction) or already be operating as a Preconstruction Manager. Additionally, you must have good presentation skills and the ability to develop construction sequences and programmes of work for the most efficient working methods. About the benefits and rewards: For this permanent opportunity, my client is targeting professionals looking to earn anywhere from £75,000 - £90,000 per annum; however, the specific salary will depend on experience and suitability. Furthermore, there will be a generous package on offer which includes all travel expenses covered, private health care and enrolment in their pension scheme.
