Project Manager - The Company:

Our client is a leading privately owned main contractor with an excellent reputation for delivering large-scale, high-specification construction projects across the South West.

With a strong pipeline of secured work in Bristol, the company delivers major new build developments across the residential, mixed-use sectors, typically ranging from £50m - £100m+.

Due to continued growth and a major flagship scheme starting on site, they are looking to appoint an ambitious and high-calibre Project Manager to join the team on a major RC frame apartment development in Bristol.

Project Manager - The Role:

This is an outstanding opportunity for a proven Project Manager to join a major £70m new build RC frame apartment scheme in Bristol, operating as the key number two on the project beneath the Project Lead.

• Monitoring health & safety, quality and programme performance
• Managing short-term programmes and reporting
• Using construction software and project reporting systems effectively
• Supporting the Project Lead with overall project strategy and delivery
• Maintaining high standards across all aspects of site operation

Project Manager - The Person:

• You must have strong main contracting experience delivering large new build construction projects.
• Previous experience on RC frame apartment projects or large multi-storey residential developments would be highly advantageous.
• The company is specifically looking for somebody driven, sharp, proactive and capable of operating with authority on a major project.
• Strong main contracting background

• Strong pipeline of future Bristol projects
• Supportive but high-performing team environment
