This is a rare opportunity to step out of a rigid "Big 4" structure and into a leadership role where professional excellence is measured by project success, not a personal fee sheet. My client operates a high-autonomy model that uniquely prioritises end-to-end project ownership over personal billing targets, liberating you to focus entirely on leading 20M+ high-spec redevelopments from acquisition to final fit-out.

Technical Authority : Act as the "technical heavyweight" on complex 20M+ refurbishment schemes and professional instructions. Manage full project life-cycles including feasibility, design coordination, specification writing,procurement, contract oversight and successful delivery.
