- Establish and manage project programmes, budgets and key delivery milestones.
- Monitor project performance and take decisive action to manage risk and maintain delivery.
- Manage contractors, subcontractors and external consultants.
What you need
- Development or project delivery experience on private-for-sale residential schemes, ideally in London and the South.
- A proven track record of delivering schemes from RIBA Stage 3 through to completion.
- Cradle to grave understanding of the development lifecycle, including appraisals, planning, procurement and delivery.
- Strong technical knowledge of design, construction and building regulations.
- A commercial mindset, with a strong understanding of construction and development costs.
