Construction Manager

Our client is a project management consultancy providing integrated construction and engineering oversight for owners and developers across Greece.

• Implement the project Quality Management Plan, review contractor ITPs and Method Statements, and manage NCRs, punch lists, and defect registers through to closure
• Champion a safety-first culture, ensuring compliance with Greek and EU HSE legislation, and conduct regular HSE inspections and audits
• Administer the construction contract on behalf of the client, reviewing claims, variation orders, RFIs, and contractor payment applications
• Monitor site expenditure against budget, flagging cost risks and maintaining an auditable instruction and variation log
• Coordinate handover and commissioning, including as-built documentation, O&M manuals, final inspections, and completion certification

• Proficiency in construction scheduling software (Primavera P6, MS Project, or equivalent)

Nice to Have

• Postgraduate qualification in Project Management (MSc, PMP, RICS, or equivalent)
• Experience across multiple sectors (residential, commercial, hospitality, mixed-use)
• Familiarity with document management systems such as Procore or Aconex

What's in It for You
