Some of these projects are ambitious and challenging in terms of timescale, complexity, and the involvement of stakeholders, and we are looking for project managers with both excellent communication skills and the ability to manage a fast-paced programme of implementation. There is also a requirement to provide technical support in liaising with contractors and overseeing works orders as part of the role.

2. Experience in the management of construction-related projects of varying financial levels is essential, alongside experience of successfully managing performance and providing feedback to design teams and principal contractors.
3. Working knowledge of applicable industry standard forms of contract i.e. NEC and JCT.
4. Experience of managing construction projects to successful outcomes within the public or private sector and ideally familiarity with major highways type programmes and infrastructure projects.

Whilst the office base will be York City Centre, easily accessible via car or public transport, we offer flexible working, including home working for which IT equipment will be provided, and we are open-minded in structuring hybrid working arrangements, where feasible.
