  • Liaise with the NHBC or other Building control bodies as required to review build standards
  • Support the development of construction teams providing coaching and mentoring as required

To be successful in the role, we are looking for:
  • Full appreciation of Health and Safety and Environmental requirements associated with the construction process
  • Experience in a management role in a construction company dealing with Quality, Health and Safety, Cost and Programme management.
  • Good technical knowledge of Construction Management

  • Good appreciation of the commercial factors which affect construction solutions and experience of considering these factors in the sector
  • Ability to provide learning/training to Group and Divisional teams on construction issues
  • Able to do some national travel but we can be flexible on an office base
  • Organised and well structured, so to competently manage people and resources to achieve the agreed outcomes.
  • IT literate and able to utilise software to evaluate trends and key performance indicators
  • Good communication skills, particularly with suppliers and contractors with a strong understanding of the customer experience and public perception.

We’ve been nationally recognised as a 5 star housebuilder since 2010 for supplying high-quality homes for all generations. That’s more than any other major housebuilder. It’s because we combine the brightest minds, the latest technology, and a genuine commitment to putting customers first. We want the best people in the industry to help us shape the future of building. We have tailored opportunities for apprentices, graduates, experienced professionals and ex-Armed Forces personnel to come and help us stay one step ahead, and build the homes that Britain needs.

Barratt adopts a hybrid way of working which assumes that where roles allow, our office-based colleagues divide their time between working in the office, on our construction sites and sales offices, and working from home, as the role dictates.  We recognise the many benefits that an effective hybrid working culture brings to both the Company and our colleagues.

We are building an organisation where anyone with drive and talent can pursue the career they want. We are building a culture where anyone, regardless of gender, race, age, sexuality, disability, background or any other characteristic, can progress and be proud to work for us.
