What You'll Need
  • Solid experience delivering structural and steel-framed buildings

  • Strong leadership – able to manage teams and get the best out of others
  • Confidence with programmes, site coordination, and sequencing
  • A good eye for quality and risk, and the ability to hold standards on site
