Description

Team Overview: The Contracts department oversees the delivery and execution of projects from initial mobilisation through to completion and handover.

With a focus on planning, resource coordination, and problem solving, the Contracts team plays a key role in ensuring our projects are delivered on time, within scope, and to the satisfaction of our clients.

Role Overview: We are currently seeking a self motivated and enthusiastic individual who can manage, develop, delegate work accordingly whilst supporting project teams on progress and advancements. The successful candidate would be working in conjunction with an established commercial project management team and alongside our in house M&E design team, who operate with the latest Revit, AutoCAD & MEP 3D design packages.
