  • Cost-in-use studies.
  • Advising on and implementing procurement strategies.
  • Valuing completed work and arranging for payments.

  • Administrating contracts as Contract Administrator or Employer's Agent.
  • Managing service delivery for profit.
  • Advising Directors promptly of any issues that have arisen, or that might arise, on projects; in particular those that might impact on Gleeds professional indemnity (PI) insurance.
  • Actively identifying new business development opportunities and driving growth across the Business Unit's activities.

As a Gleeds team member, you will have access to:

  • Opportunities to develop and grow your career.
  • A contributory pension scheme.
  • Employee Assistance Programme.
  • Our Global Travel Scholarship Programme.
  • Flexible working arrangements.
