Managing the full lifecycle of public sector projects, ensuring they are delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest quality and compliance standards.
Leading procurement strategies, contract administration, stakeholder engagement, and risk management.
Ensuring projects meet sustainability, accessibility, and community value objectives.

What we’re looking for:

A degree (or equivalent qualification) in a construction-related discipline such as construction management, quantity surveying, building surveying, or project management.
Experience working with or for public sector organisations, particularly local authorities, housing associations, or government bodies.
