We're looking for experienced EPC Project Managers and an Associate (Assistant) EPC Project Manager to join our team supporting the delivery of the Uxbridge Moor project.
As an EPC Project Manager, you'll lead the safe and successful delivery of complex infrastructure packages from development through to construction and close-out, managing programme, budget, risk and stakeholder requirements throughout the project lifecycle.
