The business is however starting to deliver projects in the capacity of a Principal Contractor and has strong ambition in this regard. The company has built a strong reputation for reliable delivery, quality workmanship, and a flexible, client-focused approach, often working within live environments and on fast-paced programmes. The business combines a trusted supply chain with an experienced direct labour force, enabling a high level of control over programme and quality on site. They are now entering an exciting phase of growth, with clear plans to scale to £10.0m turnover within the next two years. As part of this growth, it is actively transitioning from its traditional subcontractor role into operating as a Principal Contractor, taking on full project responsibility and expanding its service offering. This evolution will require strengthening internal capability, processes, and leadership, creating a significant opportunity for the right individual to play a key role in shaping the future of the business. The Role With the business expanding, the managing director/founder is looking to recruit a 2IC. Someone who can deputise for him help with the ambitious growth plans.

The Candidate Given the importance of the role, the company really need a dedicated, hard-working team player. Someone who perhaps always wanted to set up their own business and understands the importance of client relationships, delivering excellence and commercial acumen.
