A well-established construction consultancy based in West Berkshire is looking to appoint a proactive Project Manager to join their growing team in Thatcham. Working across a varied portfolio of residential, education, and commercial projects, the consultancy is known for its hands-on approach, practical expertise and close relationships with local authorities, developers and trust clients.
This is an excellent opportunity for a Project Manager who enjoys working in a collaborative, fast-moving environment. The successful Project Manager will be comfortable managing projects through all stages-from pre-construction through to completion-and will play a key role in maintaining the consultancy's reputation for reliable, results-driven service.
The Project Manager's role
The Project Manager will take on a range of projects across the South and South West, including school refurbishments, residential new builds, and commercial redevelopments. Typical project values range from £1m to £15m.

You'll be expected to manage stakeholder expectations, ensure compliance with statutory and quality requirements, and work closely with clients to deliver practical, buildable solutions. The consultancy has a friendly, supportive culture and is keen to appoint a Project Manager who can work independently but contribute to team delivery and knowledge sharing.
