·Ensure environmental compliance
·Coordinate subcontractors and site teams
·Drive programme, quality and H&S standards across smaller schemes
·Operate with autonomy and accountability on each project

What We're Looking For:
·Strong background in water or utilities civils
·Severn Trent / Environment Agency exposure highly desirable
·Proven delivery of pipeline, drainage or diversion works
·Comfortable running smaller schemes independently
·Confident managing site documentation and compliance paperwork
·Good understanding of environmental regulations
·CSCS (minimum) | SMSTS preferred

If this aligns with your experience and you're open to discussing a long-term Outside IR35 opportunity, please send your updated CV and we'll arrange a confidential call.
