Build and manage effective working relationships with contractor clients, providing proactive leadership to ensure project expectations are met or exceeded.

Drive multidisciplinary teams (both UK-based and overseas) to deliver integrated solutions in a collaborative and commercially aware environment.

Manage all aspects of project governance including scope, cost, schedule, risk, and quality management.

Support business growth through client development, project opportunities, and mentoring of emerging project managers within the team.

Proven track record in successfully delivering major (£500m+) infrastructure or highways projects, ideally in a design & build context.

Extensive experience in leading multidisciplinary project teams, including remote or offshore delivery partners.

Strong client-facing skills with a commercial mindset and ability to navigate complex stakeholder environments.

Deep understanding of project governance, risk, contracts (NEC/JCT), and financial management.

Relevant degree (e.g., Civil Engineering, Project Management) and professional accreditation (e.g., APM, RICS, ICE or similar).

Experience with international highway/infrastructure projects.

Familiarity with working in a global consultancy or contractor environment.

Experience of digital delivery and modern project control tools.
