About the role

- Work across a portfolio of construction and fit-out projects, with direct interaction with project managers, designers, estimators, and a wide network of contractors.
- Fully remote role with flexibility on location.
- A company actively investing in building out a proper procurement/tendering function rather than leaving it to already-stretched PMs
