  • Familiarity with NEC Contracts is essential
  • Excellent client-facing and team leadership ability
  • Knowledge of affordable housing delivery standards
  • Based within a commutable distance to Bolton upon Dearne and Mansfield
  • CSCS, SMSTS, and First Aid certifications required

What''s on Offer

  • Salary up to -70,000 (depending on experience)
  • Ongoing project pipeline with future schemes planned across the Midlands and North
  • Opportunity to be involved in pre-construction input and strategic delivery
  • Mileage or vehicle package
  • Supportive and hands-on leadership team

If you''re a confident No.1 PM with a background in social housing and a proactive, delivery-focused approach-this is a great opportunity to take ownership of a standout scheme with a contractor that values quality and team culture.
