We have an exciting opportunity for a NEC Supervisor to join the Project Management team in Cambridgeshire. This new role is required to assist with the delivery of a significant programme of projects across an existing client framework. The majority of projects will be within the education sector (new schools and substantial extensions) but the scope will also include the healthcare and wider community infrastructure sectors.
The candidate will be expected to undertake the role of Supervisor as defined under the NEC contract, but consideration will be given to individuals who can demonstrate relevant experience as a Clerk of Works, with the potential for further training to be provided.

The Supervisor will have a key role in the successful delivery of a range of high-profile projects and will be required to have excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to communicate effectively with a range of project partners. This role represents an excellent opportunity for the right person to join an existing, successful, and motivated team and play a pivotal role in our continued growth.
The position will be ‘home based’ but access will be available to our office in Girton as required. The position can be via ‘Agency / Contract’ or as a permanent appointment.
Responsibilities:
- Act as the Supervisor as required under the NEC suite of contracts.
- Undertake high level technical review of design proposals at outline design (RIBA 3) and detailed design stages (RIBA 4).

- Provide weekly written reports to the Project Manager and attend monthly project progress meetings during the construction phase.
- Proactively liaise with the contractor to identify potential issues and monitor programme impacts.
