* Engaging with clients, subcontractors, local authorities, and stakeholders to maintain strong relationships.
* Monitoring performance and financials, identifying risks early, and implementing solutions.
* Driving collaboration across teams, ensuring efficient planning, coordination, and execution.

* A track record in sectors such as engineering, production, water, MEICA, or construction.
* The ability to lead and motivate a team, creating a positive and high-performing work environment.
* Commercial awareness, including budget management and an understanding of contracts (NEC knowledge is a plus but not essential).
