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 6,500-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.
