We offer an opportunity you simply won't find anywhere else. In less than six years, Mileway has grown into Europe's leader in last mile logistics real estate, with a 550-plus team across twenty six offices in eleven countries.

We're looking for an experienced, entrepreneurial Senior Construction and Project Manager who is ready to shine in an international team and will focus on the UK&I market. This role will provide added value to the business through constant improvements in the build-out, cost of construction and time to complete the process.

The person we're looking for is a solid multi-tasker, bringing together project management, design, tendering, permitting, procurement and CapEx initiatives. The right candidate has not only the drive and discipline to handle the day to day, but the ambition to grow with us as we develop an unparalleled opportunity as the principal player in last mile real estate.

Are you a natural collaborator? Teamwork will be essential in this role. As part of our UK country team, you'll report to the Head of Construction and Project Management and work closely with our Asset Managers and International colleagues from all over the world.

The Asset Management team will benefit from your technical support and expertise. You'll also be touching base with our team of in-house analysts and technical support. Outside of Mileway, you'll be skilled in getting the best from relationships with suppliers and creating best-in-class internal procurement initiatives.
