Reporting directly to the Lead Project Manager, the Project Manager will be accountable for delivering large civil engineering projects ranging from £1M to £30M

As a Project Manager, you’ll play a key role to make sure projects stay on track, are delivered on time, within cost, and focusing on the quality of the project.  

You’ll manage projects in line with risk mitigation processes, and financially track the progress whilst managing budgets. As well as this you’ll work collaboratively with our in-house design engineers, external design consultants and delivery partners, PMO and Commercial teams, as well as monitor performance against project programmes.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE ROLE 

 

 

You’ll ideally be degree qualified in a technical engineering discipline, qualified or working towards Chartered Engineer status and have a qualification in APM or PRINCE2. We will consider appropriate transferable experience.

You’ll be a forward thinking and innovative Project Manager handling multiple multi-million pound capital engineering and construction projects using a gated project delivery process. 

Ideally you will either be an accredited NEC3 or NEC4 Project Manager or have extensive experience of managing projects under NEC3 or NEC4 Conditions of Contract, with a proven track record of cost planning, management, and budgetary responsibility. You will have awareness of CDM.

The right skills and experience are important. But if you have the right character, positivity, and a caring attitude we want to talk to you, too.

Knowledge of managing projects in construction and following CDM standards.

 

We welcome people from all walks of life and celebrate individuality as we know diverse minds, experiences and backgrounds help us to learn and better serve our communities. We employ thousands of people from across our community who really care about what they do. Because that is how we do what we do.

And when it comes to inclusion, we’re making sure we keep up the progress with our wonderful working groups – LGBTQ+, Women in Operations & STEM, Disability and Ethnicity; who help us do just that.

 

We do more, because we care.
