Are you an experienced team player looking for a new challenge in compliance documentation? How about an exciting role working on a military estate in support of our Army customers? You’ll get to support key projects that matter. Join a great team at Aspire Defence Services…
Reporting directly to the CPT Programme Manager, you will be a pivotal member of the Pre-Construction Team, overseeing the entire Pre-Construction process from feasibility to detailed design across a diverse range of projects within the expansive Aspire footprint.
In this role, you will be responsible for effectively managing the Pre-Construction process. This involves navigating various stages of design development, ensuring a delicate balance between providing technical guidance, meeting program requirements, and achieving project commercial objectives. Your role will also involve fostering strong relationships with stakeholders, both internal, such as ADSL and the client team, and external entities, including consultants and agencies like the Environment Agency, Planning Authority, and Building Control. Compliance with the Aspire Management System and CDM regulations will be paramount to the success of your endeavours.
A significant part of your responsibilities will involve collaborating closely with outside consultants and providing valuable technical input to the wider CPT Team. You will be tasked with maintaining positive and effective relationships with a wide array of stakeholders, ensuring smooth communication and collaboration. Additionally, you will play a critical role in developing comprehensive project scoping documents for both Consultants and Contractors, aligning with client requirements and providing the necessary technical accuracy and cost certainty.
Chairing design co-ordination meetings will be part of your routine, ensuring that the overall Contract Programme is adhered to. Undertaking design risk assessments in compliance with CDM regulations will be crucial to the safety and success of projects. Regular monitoring and reporting on project progress, coupled with ensuring designs meet relevant standards and specifications, will be essential components of your role.
Supporting the Commercial and Procurement Teams during tender reviews and interfacing with Facilities Management and Lifecycle teams to ensure the maintainability of designs will be part of your multifaceted responsibilities. Your ongoing support for the Site Delivery Team, responding to requests for information and technical queries in a timely manner, will be vital to the smooth progression of projects.
