The role will involve assisting on project delivery, working with clients to manage the process of reinforcement, diversion, and procurement of utility infrastructure. You will be working closely with the group's Director, supporting other team members on a wide range of building projects with their varying utility infrastructure requirements.

What we are looking for:
Some experience in delivering utility connections, diversions, and strategies for development projects in the UK. Understanding of Gas, Water, Electricity, Drainage, and telecom industry.

Proven project experience of utilities in the construction sector. An understanding and ability to work closely with clients on challenging aspects. An understanding for the need to have both a technical and commercial skill set.
