About You

We are looking for an established Senior Project Manager with a strong track record of delivering large-scale industrial, logistics, warehouse or commercial projects for a Tier-One main contractor.

You will need to be someone who is comfortable taking ownership and accountability, rather than simply managing individual packages. You should have the leadership, commercial awareness and programme management skills to drive a complex project and bring the wider team with you.

The Person

Above all, we are looking for a leader who takes ownership.

You will be expected to take control of the programme, establish clear direction, challenge performance where required and ensure the project team remains focused on delivery. You should be commercially aware, decisive and capable of operating at a senior level with both the client and your own business.
