Gap Construction are recruiting on behalf of a well-established Cambridge based construction consultancy who are looking to appoint a Senior Employer's Agent to support a growing pipeline of complex and varied projects outside of their traditional residential specialism.

The business has been established since the 1970s and has built a strong reputation locally for delivering high quality consultancy services, predominantly within the residential sector.

This is a key hire within the business, offering the opportunity to take a leading role across a diverse portfolio, acting as a trusted client advisor and taking ownership of schemes from inception through to completion.

The successful candidate will be responsible for leading Employer's Agent duties across multiple complex projects, ensuring successful delivery across time, cost, and quality objectives while working closely with clients, design teams, and contractors.

• Taking ownership of schemes from inception through to completion
• Coordinating design teams, contractors, and stakeholders across multiple project types
• Advising clients on procurement routes, strategy, and delivery options for complex and varied schemes
• Monitoring progress and ensuring compliance with contractual obligations
• Identifying and managing risks with appropriate mitigation strategies
• Supporting the continued growth of the consultancy into new sectors beyond residential

Person Specification:

• Proven experience as an Employer's Agent, Project Manager, or similar consultancy-based role
• Strong client facing and communication skills with the ability to manage senior stakeholders
• Experience delivering projects across residential and/or broader construction sectors
• Comfortable working across varied and unconventional project types
• Strong commercial awareness and understanding of project delivery from inception to completion
• Ability to manage multiple complex projects simultaneously
• Proactive, organised, and confident in leading project teams
