Advice for prospective candidates

There has never been a better time to start a position within such an exciting organisation. Our department will not only support the delivery of two of the largest redevelopments the island would have seen, but our "business as usual" projects are just as exciting. We need team players who are keen to roll their sleeves up and get stuck in to make sure the whole department can deliver all Project on time and on budget!
