Project Manager – Civils (Groundworks & Drainage)
Leamington Spa
Permanent or Freelance (CIS)
We’re looking for an experienced Civils Project Manager to take control of a groundworks and drainage package on a live job in Leamington Spa.
This isn’t a sit-behind-a-desk role — you’ll be expected to run the job properly, manage the site team, keep things moving, and deal with the day-to-day realities of delivery.
What you’ll be doing
* Running the project on site from start through to completion
* Managing engineers, supervisors, and subcontractors
* Keeping the programme on track and pushing progress where needed
* Dealing with clients and keeping communication straightforward and honest
* Working with the commercial team on costs, variations, and any issues
* Making sure standards are met without overcomplicating things
What we’re after
* Solid experience delivering groundworks and drainage schemes
* Someone who can take ownership and make decisions
* Able to manage people properly and get the best out of a team
* Commercially aware — understands the impact of decisions on cost
* SMSTS, CSCS, First Aid (or working towards)
* Engineering background helps, but not essential
The offer
* Good salary or day rate depending on what you’re after
* CIS available for freelance
* Decent run of work with a contractor that keeps busy
* Straightforward setup — no politics, just getting the job done
If you’re a Project Manager who’s comfortable running civils jobs and doesn’t need hand-holding, this will suit you.
