• Champion CDM regulations, ensuring compliance and providing advisory support to site teams.
• Manage full project P&L, ensuring accurate forecasting, budget control, and financial governance.
• Oversee commercial compliance in collaboration with commercial, finance, and QS teams.
• Lead strategic planning, risk management, and governance throughout the project lifecycle.
• Influence senior stakeholders and act as a trusted advisor on project delivery models.
• Ensure all work meets Health & Safety standards, sustainability requirements, and statutory obligations.
• Manage contractor performance and supply chain engagement.
• Support business development through pipeline planning and value optimisation.
• Mentor junior project managers and promote a culture of excellence and accountability.
• Report monthly on project milestones, risks, and financial performance to the Project Director (FM)

What we're looking for

• Extensive experience delivering M&E and building fabric projects.
• Strong technical capability and commercial awareness.
