Reporting project status and financial performance to senior management on a regular cycle

Solid experience managing capital projects within Property & Construction, ideally at a mid-level with clear examples of delivery

Comfortable reading budgets and financial reports without needing everything translated for you

Sharp communication skills. You'll be the person contractors, clients and directors all need to trust

A methodical approach to risk and problem-solving under pressure

Relevant qualification in construction management, quantity surveying or a related field

Key perks and benefits

Salary of £36,000 to £51,500, depending on experience
