We are seeking a proactive and driven Project Manager to oversee the full project lifecycle – from pre-construction handover through to final account. This is a fantastic opportunity to take ownership of a variety of exciting projects, ensuring seamless coordination across internal teams, suppliers, and third-party stakeholders.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Acting as the key point of contact for clients, you will manage projects end-to-end, delivering exceptional service while maintaining strong relationships with all stakeholders.
  • Take full responsibility for project performance, reporting KPIs to the Contract Manager and providing clear, concise updates and documentation.
  • Ensure projects meet health & safety requirements, prepare RAMS documentation, and promote a positive safety culture on site.
  • Lead design approvals and oversee project progress through production, installation, and completion phases.
  • Collaborate closely with our commercial team on CVRs – monitoring budgets, controlling costs, and forecasting financial outcomes.
  • Attend pre-start, progress, and ad-hoc site meetings, ensuring you stay ahead of project developments and challenges.
  • Work alongside the commercial team to drive margin growth through design improvements, value engineering, and problem-solving during the installation phase.

Requirements

What We’re Looking For:

  • A proven track record of successfully managing projects across a range of sectors.
  • High attention to detail with excellent problem-solving skills and a creative, can-do attitude.
  • Strong client-facing skills, with the confidence to engage with consultants, engineers, and other third parties.
  • Exceptional organisational and time-management abilities, able to adapt in fast-paced, ever-changing environments.
  • A background or qualification in design, technical, or construction fields would be beneficial but is not essential.
  • Commercially savvy, with a clear understanding of how to balance quality with cost control.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs):

  • Effective implementation and management of project programmes.
  • Achievement of project milestones using our Golden Rules method.
  • Accurate project forecasting with clear visibility of any potential slippage.
  • Proactive management and closure of NCRs.
  • Maintaining excellent client communication – no “chase” calls or emails from clients!
  • Health & Safety – minimum of two audits per month.
  • Site presence – minimum of four visits per project.

Benefits
