Are you an experienced Project Manager looking for your next challenge in a dynamic, engineering-led environment? This is an exciting opportunity to take ownership of high-value projects, working at the heart of delivery to ensure safety, quality, and client satisfaction remain at the forefront.

As a Project Manager, you will be responsible for planning, coordinating, and overseeing projects from initiation through to completion, ensuring they are delivered on time, safely, within budget, and to the highest quality standards. You will work closely with clients, engineers, subcontractors, and internal teams to manage all aspects of the project lifecycle, ensuring smooth execution and strong stakeholder engagement.

You will lead project teams, manage risks, ensure compliance with industry standards such as WIMES and BS 7671, and drive continuous improvement across project delivery. From planning and scheduling through to commissioning and handover, you will play a key role in ensuring successful outcomes and exceptional client satisfaction.
