Built Alliance are delighted to be partnering with a globally established, sustainability-driven consultancy as they look to appoint an ambitious Project Manager to join their growing Leeds office, a genuine step-up opportunity for someone ready to take on more ownership. Working closely alongside hands-on Directors and senior leaders, you'll get real exposure to a broad, varied portfolio spanning healthcare, industry, and complex infrastructure, with healthcare remaining a core pillar of the workload. This is a role built for someone who has cut their teeth as an Assistant or Intermediate Project Manager and is ready to lead with more autonomy, supported by a team that genuinely invests in developing its people rather than just expecting them to sink or swim. Ideally, you will have already supported project delivery across all phases, from early RIBA stages through to completion, engaging with a broad mix of stakeholders including public and private clients, funders, and design teams. You'll look to build your confidence in cost control, procurement, and contract administration, with a working knowledge of JCT/NEC frameworks, while working closely with internal cost management teams to maintain commercial oversight. You'll also play an active role in driving sustainability, from Net Zero and embodied carbon through to wider ESG policy, alongside supporting stakeholder engagement, funding compliance and reporting. Backed by a strong global network yet operating with the agility of a close-knit regional team, this consultancy has built its reputation on doing things properly, balancing commercial rigour with a people-first, sustainability-led approach. It's an environment where career progression isn't just talked about; it's actively supported, making it an ideal next move for someone looking to grow into a fuller PM role over time. If this position resonates with you, contact Rob Hayton at Built Alliance to discuss further.
