Senior Project Manager / Project Director RC Frame & Groundwork Packages - London £90,000 - £120,000 + Benefits (PAYE or Self-Employed) About the Employer: This business is one of my top clients. Having worked with them for the past 10+ years, I have seen them develop in both size and capability over this time. They now currently turnover above £120 million per annum, building concrete frame and groundwork packages ranging in value up to £50 million each for a variety of residential and commercial contractors and developers throughout London and the surrounding Home Counties. They have a very modern edge to the business while maintaining traditional roots. On a personal note, I believe this company is one of the best because of the environment they create for their people and because of the personalities of the superb senior management/directorship team. They go that extra mile to not only retain their staff but to truly keep them happy to be with the business. Small things have been added to the office, like a gym that people have access to all day. They have a treatment room where massages and cosmetic treatments are available to everyone on Fridays, free of charge. And they now even have a rooftop garden and BBQ area. I d want to work here myself if I had the relevant experience!

About the Rewards: This business offers above-average packages to ensure their staff are happy with their income, and beyond this, to ensure they see this as a long-term move when joining the company.
