Senior Project Manager Construction Consultancy

A specialist project management consultancy in Nottingham is looking for a Senior Project Manager to support major public sector infrastructure and built environment programmes. This is an excellent opportunity for a Senior Project Manager with strong pre-contract experience to lead complex, governance-led projects for public authorities and regional stakeholders.

The Senior Project Manager will focus on programme set-up, governance, stakeholder management, and multidisciplinary coordination during the early stages of major projects. This Senior Project Manager role would suit a capable Senior Project Manager who understands structured public sector decision-making and can establish clear reporting, approvals, risks, responsibilities, and delivery controls. The successful Senior Project Manager will bring broader infrastructure, regeneration, or built environment experience rather than a career focused almost entirely on education, healthcare, defence, nuclear, or aviation projects.

You must have prior construction consultancy experience to be considered for this role.

The Senior Project Manager will lead projects through feasibility, business case development, programme mobilisation, procurement planning, and the wider pre-contract process.

The Senior Project Manager will establish governance structures, coordinate multidisciplinary teams, manage senior stakeholders, monitor project risks, and ensure schemes progress through formal approval gateways.

The Senior Project Manager will work closely with public authorities, technical consultants, engineers, commercial teams, and delivery partners. Responsibilities will include programme reporting, assurance, change control, procurement support, stakeholder engagement, and maintaining robust project controls throughout the early stages of delivery.

The successful Senior Project Manager will have:

• Prior experience working within a construction consultancy environment
• Strong pre-contract project and programme management experience
• Experience across public sector infrastructure, regeneration, or wider built environment projects
• Experience working with public authorities and senior stakeholders
• A proven ability to establish project governance and reporting structures
• Experience managing multidisciplinary consultant teams
• Knowledge of structured project management methodologies such as PRINCE2 would be beneficial
• A degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Project Management, Quantity Surveying, Building Surveying, or a related discipline
• MRICS, MAPM, MCIOB, CEng, or another relevant professional qualification
• Strong communication, leadership, commercial, and risk management skills
• The ability to travel across Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire when required

• £60,000 - £75,000
• Pension contribution
• Professional membership fees paid
• Major public sector infrastructure programmes
• Exposure to regeneration and built environment projects
• Leadership responsibility on high-profile commissions
• Clear career progression opportunities
• Supportive and collaborative consultancy environment
