Working directly with clients and alongside the wider project team, you will have the opportunity to develop strong project and commercial relationships while playing an important part in the successful delivery of each scheme.
The business is also investing in its working environment, with the successful candidate based out of a brand-new, modern Central London office. Alongside a competitive salary of £65,000 – £75,000, they offer travel expenses, private medical cover, pension contributions and a discretionary bonus.
