Are you currently working in a technical construction role such as building surveying, contract management, project management, or asset management?
Would you like to step away from day-to-day project delivery into a respected consultancy role where you can become a go-to advisor, work across a wide range of impactful projects, and enjoy true autonomy and flexibility?
This not-for-profit organisation has been setting the standard in procurement and construction for over 50 years and has been operating in Wales since 2015, where it has become a recognised and trusted brand across the region.
Known for their exceptional culture, they are a people-first business that empowers staff, promotes from within, and offers an unbeatable work-life balance. With Gold Standard accreditation in Constructing Excellence, they work closely with local authorities, housing associations, and public bodies to deliver high-quality, value-driven construction and consultancy solutions that make a tangible difference to communities across Wales and the wider public sector.
In this Wales-based role, you'll act as the key technical link between public sector clients and appointed contractors (ApCos), ensuring that projects are delivered smoothly, efficiently, and to the highest technical standards. You'll handle site visits, project troubleshooting, and dispute resolution, while also supporting tender evaluations, technical audits, and stakeholder engagement. Weekly travel across Wales is essential, as is a fixed office day every Wednesday in Cardiff.
The ideal candidate will come from a construction delivery background such as building surveying, quantity surveying, architecture, or project management, and bring public sector experience, ideally within housing associations or local authorities.
You'll be confident managing stakeholders, resolving issues on site, and ensuring compliance across construction projects. A solid understanding of procurement frameworks, RIBA stages, and project lifecycles is essential, along with a professional, self-managed approach to your work. This is a role for someone who thrives on variety, autonomy, and making a visible impact.
This position offers the chance to support and influence the entire public sector across Wales helping organisations deliver better outcomes for communities. It provides genuine variety, opportunities to grow and broaden your technical and professional skills, and the satisfaction of knowing your input shapes projects on a wider social scale.
