They undertake technical civil engineering projects throughout the UK with values ranging up to £15M and their group services include demolition, earthworks, infrastructure, multi utilities, remediation and asbestos removal.

About the benefits and rewards: For this permanent opportunity, my client is targeting professionals looking to earn anywhere from £85,000 - £95,000 per annum; however, the specific salary will depend on experience and suitability. Furthermore, there will be a generous package on offer which includes all travel expenses covered, private health care and enrolment into their pension scheme. Lastly, due to the current team structure and a growing company, fantastic career progression opportunities will be available. About the requirements: To be considered for this opportunity, you must hold proven experience working in a senior preconstruction or business development role, operating within the civil engineering or infrastructure sector in the UK. You will hold a track record of successfully winning work on civils infrastructure schemes, be experienced in managing complex tenders and framework submissions, and hold strong client facing management skills.
