Winsearch is proud to partner with an established specialist contractor that is looking to appoint an experienced Construction Package Manager to support the delivery of major construction projects.

This is a hands-on delivery role with responsibility for assigned construction packages from mobilisation through to completion.

You’ll take ownership of construction packages such as windows, external doors, building services, interiors and associated works.

Working closely with project, design, planning, commercial and site teams, you’ll ensure each package is properly coordinated and aligned with the wider construction programme.

Your performance will be assessed against:
