Construction Manager – Project Delivery

Excelsior Group Limited | Midlands£65,000–£75,000 + Car/Car Allowance + Bonus + Benefits

About Excelsior

Excelsior Group Limited is a growing, family-run principal contractor delivering residential schemes across the Midlands and South East, typically ranging from £6m–£25m.

With a strong pipeline of secured work, we are looking for an experienced Construction Manager to join our operational team.

The Role

You will be the key link between our sites and the wider business, working with Site Managers, Commercial, Procurement, Design and the Directors to keep projects on programme and issues resolved.

You will oversee projects end-to-end – from pre-construction, mobilisation and groundworks, through the build programme to commissioning, completion and client handover.

* Input into pre-construction, buildability, logistics and value engineering.

* Drive projects through completion, handover and defects.

* Maintain high standards of Health & Safety, quality and compliance.

You will need:

* Strong technical construction knowledge.

* Proven experience delivering residential or comparable projects.

* Excellent construction programming skills.

* Strong Micro...
