The Construction Management Office will facilitate multiple inputs and align delivery plans and programmes with specialist strategies, development consent orders, planners, and other stakeholders, bringing clarity to this complex stakeholder group. It will also establish a framework for standardisation and procedures, as well as provide long-term construction assurance to meet CDM requirements. It will interface with the Project Management Office and will be at the forefront of developing digital tools and solutions to meet tomorrows construction information and tracking needs.  If you enjoy working as part of a team that influences construction strategy and supports ongoing project delivery, this is a great opportunity to register your interest in.
