Rogers McHugh Recruitment
Great Crosby, Merseyside
About you You are a Project Manager who enjoys running construction projects properly. You like being the person who keeps everything moving. Programme, quality, subcontractors, site teams and commercial awareness all matter to you. You take pride in handing over a scheme that has been delivered the right way. You probably enjoy residential construction because every project brings a different challenge. One job might be a new build apartment scheme. The next might be a commercial conversion into residential units. Variety keeps the role interesting. You are organised, calm under pressure and confident when speaking with site managers, subcontractors, architects and commercial teams. You want to work with a developer and contractor where your decisions actually shape the outcome of the project. This role gives you the chance to manage multiple residential developments across Merseyside while being supported from a head office environment that is close to the projects. Your experience You will already have experience working as a Project Manager or Contracts Manager within the construction industry. Your background will likely involve residential construction projects such as apartment developments, residential conversions or multi unit schemes. Experience delivering projects from early planning through to completion and handover will be important. You will understand construction programming, project delivery and site management. Knowledge of building regulations, construction standards and health and safety compliance will also be part of your day to day work. You should be comfortable working with project planning software such as Microsoft Project. Experience using ASTA planning software would be useful. A CSCS card or NVQ qualification within construction is expected. Health and safety qualifications would also be beneficial. A full UK driving licence and access to a car is required as you will be visiting multiple construction sites across the region. What you will be doing with your experience You will take the lead on delivering residential construction projects from early planning stages through to completion and final handover. Your focus will be managing multiple live construction sites across Merseyside. You will ensure each project is delivered on time, within budget and to the required quality standards. You will create and manage project programmes, coordinate site teams and work closely with site managers to keep progress moving. Subcontractor performance, productivity and quality standards will sit under your responsibility. You will work alongside the Quantity Surveyor to support procurement and subcontractor appointments. Strong commercial awareness will help ensure each project performs well financially. Communication will be a key part of the role. You will regularly liaise with architects, engineers, subcontractors and operational teams to keep projects coordinated. You will also oversee health and safety compliance, risk assessments and method statements across the sites you manage. Regular meetings, reporting and progress reviews will form part of your weekly routine. About the business This role sits within a property developer and construction company focused on residential apartment developments for the private rental sector. The business delivers a mix of premium and affordable housing schemes across the North West. Projects include new build apartment blocks, refurbishment projects and commercial buildings converted into residential homes. Operations are run from a Merseyside head office with active construction sites across the region. The company is growing and taking on a steady pipeline of residential development projects. For a Project Manager this creates a chance to work closely with the leadership team and play a key role in the delivery of multiple schemes rather than being a small part of a very large corporate structure. Next steps A CV isn't needed to start a conversation, so no matter what stage you're at in your job search, get in touch to discuss.
