  • Lead client engagement activities including scoping sessions, proposals, weekly updates and monthly progress reviews.
  • Manage budgets – including those exceeding £1m – while forecasting, controlling costs and securing funding.
  • Identify and mitigate risks, lead audits and quality assurance activity, and drive continuous improvement initiatives.

Professional and Personal Competencies/Qualifications

  • FESS certification with solid understanding of BS 5839, BS 50131, BS 62676.
  • Knowledge of SAFE03, SAFE04, and familiarity with NEC4 contracts.
