You’ll be joining a dynamic SME with a strong and growing project portfolio across multiple sectors and structure types. The role offers real scope to shape your influence, grow capability around you, and take on broader leadership responsibility. This is a great opportunity for someone from a larger organisation who wants greater visibility, impact, and progression.
