Project Management Assistant

About us

Bovis builds enduring partnerships, bringing together the right expertise, the right capabilities and the right resources to deliver the most complex projects.

We know from decades of experience that successful delivery of multi-year complex projects requires close working relationships and collaboration through the supply chain.  That’s why we share risk and invest in people and relationships at every level.

We make things happen, anticipating challenges before they arise. Drawing on our highly experienced, multi-disciplinary teams, we bring a fresh perspective, tailoring our approach to the specific demands of the project, helping to simplify complexity and minimise risk.
