The CIOB is seeking recruits for its new business vdevelopment board.
There are two vacancies and it is seeking expressions of interest from members and fellows in the UK and Ireland, with a view to taking up the role in September.
Candidates should have skills or experience from:
- Working for a tier 1 or tier 2 contractor
- Working for or running an SME
- Academia
- Business / commercial development or marketing
- Overseas experience.
The business development board is one of the CIOB’s three key operational boards. The key responsibilities of board members are:
- To oversee implementation of the various strategies that impact on membership growth – including international, employer engagement, students and young working professionals
- To work with other committees in developing new products and services which are accessible to all members
- To oversee business development opportunities arising from engagement with employers, chartered members and training partners
- To monitor any special projects linked to membership grade or direct entry routes.
Ivan McCarthy, special contracts divisional manager with John Sisk and Son and chair of the business development board, said: “The business development board is a challenging and dynamic group. It is important that we continue to have member’s input in overseeing the strategies we are implementing to grow and develop the Institute. We also want to ensure the Institute remains relevant and the professional body of choice for construction management. We need your input.”
The tenure for board members is three years and there are usually four meetings a year, alternating between Bracknell and London.
The full terms of reference are available on request. Expressions of interest should be e-mailed to: [email protected]
