You will ideally have experience delivering fit out and refurbishment projects, particularly within industrial units. Office fit out experience would also be relevant.

The office currently turns over around £20m, giving you a sizeable operation to work within, while the wider business is around £65m. There is also a strong focus on internal progression.

On top of the basic salary, you will receive a car allowance and a strong annual bonus, giving you a package that reflects the level of responsibility you will have. About the business You will be joining a highly profitable construction contractor with a strong track record across fit out and refurbishment. The business works predominantly on industrial unit fit out and refurbishment projects, alongside office fit out schemes. The Stevenage office currently has a turnover of around £20m, with the wider business turning over approximately £65m.
