  • Proven experience delivering CAT A & CAT B office fit-out projects
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced Design & Build environment (highly desirable)
  • Ability to lead projects technically and commercially
  • Experience managing or mentoring engineers
  • Confidently engaging directly with clients and stakeholders


Why Join?

  • Genuine opportunity to build a team and influence the business
  • Work closely with senior leadership in a growing company
  • Exposure to a strong pipeline of commercial fit-out projects
  • Clear pathway into further leadership positions


This is a genuinely unique opportunity for an ambitious individual to lead, shape and grow a wider engineering department within a growing contractor.

Whether you're working in the larger corporate companies or a small SME this is certainly one to take note of. Please don't hesitate to apply or get in touch for further info on the email below, we can arrange a confidential conversation anytime to suit you.
