A team of 2 engineers and 3 supervisors. 75% of their business is subcontracting in the land development space to principal civil contractors and developers.

Reporting to the Managing Director, the successful applicant will be responsible for the full lifecycle delivery of commercial construction projects,
This could suit someone up and coming with 5 years experience, or someone who has been there done it but still has the hands-on drive.
You will have strong experience in;Managing multiple civil water projects from award through to completionProgramming, budgeting, and cost controlCoordinating subcontractors, consultants, and suppliersManaging site teams and ensuring program milestones are achievedOverseeing quality, safety, and compliance across all projectsBuilding strong internal and external stakeholder relationshipsDemonstrate similar sized projects*Knowledge of MRWA is essential

What you'll get in return
