Description

The role requires developing and maintaining collaborative relationships with the Portfolio Manager, Senior Project Manager, construction and supervisor teams, as well as internal and external stakeholders. Maintaining DBFO contract compliance, clarifying team roles, resolving risks and issues promptly, and producing accurate reports and change‑management records are essential.

You will design, agree and implement comprehensive project plans, ensuring activities are organised and resourced to meet objectives. This includes leading programmes through feasibility, design, construction and handover, preparing investment proposals, and creating robust cost profiles that identify key risks and resource needs.

You will also support sustainability targets such as net‑zero and biodiversity net gain, work closely with construction teams on permits and site reporting, and manage NEC contract options.
