About the Role
As Capital Projects Officer, you will support the Capital Projects Lead in planning, coordinating, and delivering capital projects across the trust. You’ll be involved in every stage of project delivery, from early planning and procurement through to monitoring progress, managing documentation, and supporting handover.
Alongside trust-wide programmes, you will also lead your own portfolio of construction, refurbishment, and maintenance projects. This includes working directly with schools to understand their needs, liaising with contractors and consultants, and ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently, and to a high standard.
This is a varied and hands-on role where no two days are the same. You’ll be part of a supportive and growing team committed to delivering a sustainable, safe, and well-maintained estate for our pupils and staff.
