Project Manager

We are working with a well-established and highly respected civil engineering consultancy looking to appoint a talented Project Manager to join their growing team.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious project professional seeking a client-side consultancy role, where you will act as a trusted advisor to clients and take ownership of projects from feasibility and procurement through to delivery and handover.
Unlike contractor-side roles, this position offers the chance to work across multiple schemes from a strategic and advisory perspective-managing programme, risk, procurement, and stakeholder engagement while ensuring successful project outcomes for clients across the construction and civil engineering sectors.
This role would suit someone currently working within a consultancy environment, or a contractor-side professional looking to transition into a more client-facing project management position.

As Project Manager, you will be responsible for overseeing multiple projects on behalf of clients, ensuring successful delivery against programme, budget, quality, and risk objectives.
Key responsibilities include:

• Managing construction and civil engineering projects from inception to completion on behalf of clients
• Producing tender documentation and administering procurement processes
• Reviewing and evaluating contractor tenders and making recommendations to clients
• Preparing detailed project reports, progress updates, and delivery strategies
• Developing and monitoring project programmes, key milestones, and deliverables
• Managing project risk registers and implementing mitigation strategies
• Administering projects under NEC contract frameworks
• Supporting compliance with CDM Regulations and wider governance requirements
• Chairing and attending project meetings with clients, contractors, consultants, and stakeholders
• Acting as the key interface between all project parties to drive successful delivery

We are keen to speak with candidates who understand the demands of project delivery and can confidently operate in a client advisory capacity.
You will ideally have:

• Degree qualification in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or a related discipline
• Experience delivering projects within a consultancy, client-side, or contractor environment
• Strong working knowledge of the NEC suite of contracts (NEC accreditation advantageous)
• Good understanding of CDM Regulations and duty holder responsibilities
• Strong commercial awareness with experience managing programme and risk
• Sound technical knowledge of UK construction standards / Eurocodes
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• Strong report writing and presentation abilities
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office, including Excel, Project, and PowerPoint

This opportunity offers genuine long-term progression within a collaborative consultancy environment, working on varied and technically interesting projects with high-profile clients.
