Client Project Manager

Contract Scotland

A well-established engineering and technology consultancy is seeking an experienced Project Manager to support the delivery of projects across the built environment, infrastructure, and energy sectors. This is an opportunity to join a growing organisation delivering technically complex projects across diverse asset portfolios.

The role will focus on early-stage project delivery, combining project management with design coordination responsibilities. You will play a key role in shaping practical, safety-led design solutions while ensuring projects are planned, managed, and delivered efficiently through feasibility and pre-construction phases.

The Role

You will manage multiple concurrent projects from initial brief through to design completion (RIBA Stages 1–4), ensuring alignment with programme, budget, and quality expectations. Working closely with multidisciplinary teams, you will coordinate inputs from architects, engineers, consultants, and stakeholders to deliver integrated and buildable solutions.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Managing project scope, timelines, and deliverables across multiple workstreams
  • Leading design coordination activities and stakeholder meetings
  • Developing site layouts, logistics strategies, and access solutions
  • Implementing risk management and change control processes
  • Supporting cost planning and budget tracking
  • Ensuring compliance with health, safety, environmental, and quality standards
  • Maintaining accurate project documentation and reporting
  • You will also contribute to procurement activities and support the appointment of consultants and contractors where required

About You

  • You will have a strong technical foundation, ideally with a background in civil or structural engineering, combined with proven experience in project management within construction, infrastructure, or property environments.
  • We are particularly interested in candidates who:
  • Have experience delivering projects through early design stages (RIBA 1–4)
  • Are comfortable managing multiple smaller projects simultaneously
  • Have strong stakeholder management and coordination skills
  • Understand UK building regulations and compliance requirements
  • Thrive in fast-paced, delivery-focused environments
  • Experience working in live or operational environments such as utilities or infrastructure is advantageous. Familiarity with NEC or similar contract frameworks is beneficial but not essential.

What’s on Offer

  • Competitive salary (dependent on experience)
  • Flexible and hybrid working arrangements
  • Pension scheme
  • Generous annual leave, including additional time off over the Christmas period
  • Professional development and training support
  • Performance-related bonus
  • Collaborative and supportive working environment

This role may involve occasional travel across the UK and Ireland, along with some site-based work depending on project requirements.
