Are you an experienced Project Manager with a passion for delivering high-quality projects on time and within budget? Do you thrive on solving problems, building strong relationships, and seeing a project through from start to finish? If so, we'd love to hear from you!

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.
