I'm partnered with a premier, highly successful specialist structural alterations/cut & carve/structural refurbishment contractor who've operated across London for over 50 years. As a trusted principal contractor, working directly for clients/consultants, they tackle complex, high-profile commercial and grade-listed structural packages valued up to £5m.

Working closely with the commercial and operational leadership, you will take full commercial ownership of complex enabling works, cut & carve and structural refurbishment projects.
What you'll be up to
* Commercial ownership: Manage the commercial life cycle of major packages including demolition, underpinning, temporary works, buildersworks and reinforced concrete structures.

* Subcontractor management: Handle procurement, contract negotiation, and monthly valuations seamlessly.
* Client dvisory: Partner directly with Tier-1 main contractors and private clients to manage risks and maximize profitability.
Desirable experience
* Sector experience: A track record working for a specialist contractor within complex structural refurbishment
* Technical exposure: Familiarity with structural alterations, groundwork, piling, concrete, or complex temporary works packages is highly advantageous. Strong negotiation skills, a sharp eye for contractual detail, and an ability to protect project margins.

If you're considering a new career challenge, and your priority is "peace of mind" stability with genuine career progression, this could be the one. At the very least, it's worth a conversation - you never know
