  • Confident in client meetings, budgeting and cost reporting
  • Experience running several projects at once, from a few thousand pounds to £500,000+
  • Full UK driving licence and happy to travel across the South region; ideally based around Cambridge, Peterborough or Essex
  • Working knowledge of BS 5839; SMSTS or FIA qualifications would be an advantage
