Coordinate consultants, contractors and specialist advisors throughout delivery. Oversee projects requiring engagement with the Building Safety Regulator, including Gateway submissions and approvals. Ensure appropriate design, construction and change control processes are maintained. Manage Principal Designers, Principal Contractors and wider multidisciplinary project teams.

The ideal candidate will combine strong capital/project management experience with a solid understanding of HRBs, the Building Safety Act and the BSR Gateway regime.
