  • Use digital tools such as BIM, CAD, Viewpoint (4Projects), and Microsoft Office to manage and communicate design information

What You Bring
  • A degree in Construction Management, Architecture, Engineering, or a related design discipline
  • Experience supporting pre-construction and construction phases on large-scale projects
  • Strong understanding of procurement routes, contract types, and building regulations
  • Commercial awareness and a collaborative mindset
  • Familiarity with BREEAM, CDM regulations, and programming software
  • A proactive, solutions-focused approach with excellent communication skills

What We Offer
