Job description

Overview

Opportunity for a Project Manager to join the Life Science team in Macclesfield.

The Project Manager will report to the Framework Portfolio Manager.

Within the Framework for our client, we have a Portfolio of Projects ranging from £100k to £4.5m with a total value estimated as £25m per annum. The Projects when Designed and Approved move into the Construction Stage, starting with 5 Projects at present and potentially reaching 15 Projects active in either Design or Construction Stages at one time.

Each Project runs independently under its own team, reporting into the Project Manager who coordinates and tracks each Project and reports status to the Portfolio Manager. This role is a part of the Core Framework Team who oversees the entire Portfolio.

The size and technical complexity of each Project will determine whether it has just a Site Manager running it or another Project Manager, especially if multiple disciplines or sub-contractors are required.

The Project stages are as follows:

1. Stage 0: An estimation of cost, schedule, and resources to fulfil the Design for the Project, submitted to the Client for Approval to progress to Stage 1.
2. Stage 1: The Design is conducted, resulting in a Tender Design, an estimated Cost, and an estimated Schedule for Stage 2, submitted to the Client for Approval.
3. Stage 2: The Design moves from Tender to Construction, with the Construction Teams selected and mobilised to conduct the Scope of Work to completion and Handover.
