• Conduct regular risk assessments and implement strategies to mitigate potential issues.
• Monitor project performance, identifying improvement areas and initiating corrective actions.
• Cultivate a collaborative team environment, guiding your team to deliver sustainable and productive solutions.

What We're Looking For:

• Exceptional leadership skills and a proven ability to work autonomously.
• Relevant qualifications in Construction Management, Project Management, APM, RICS, or professional certifications like PMP or Prince2.
• Solid experience in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering services, along with Safety Management and CDM qualifications.
• Demonstrated experience managing large-scale projects, preferably in complex or custodial settings.
• Strong command of project management principles, methodologies, and tools.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to motivate a diverse team.

This is not just another project management role. It's an opportunity to contribute meaningfully to a high-profile, heavily regulated environment, working alongside a dedicated team committed to treating all individuals in our care with dignity and respect.
