Representing the practice at conferences, industry events and public meetings

What You'll Bring

Experience on projects and frameworks with construction values between £5M and £50M

Confident, organised and proactive, with excellent communication and presentation skills

Highly competent in technical detailing and production of technical information

Extensive experience delivering projects on site, including contract administration

Very proficient in Revit, AutoCAD and Microsoft Office

About You

Confident, organised and proactive, with exceptional communication and presentation skills. A strong mentor and team leader who thrives on driving design quality and client relationships, and who takes pride in strengthening the practice's reputation in a specialist, growing area of work.

What's on Offer?

£50,000 - £55,000 dependent on experience

Hybrid working arrangement
