Offer description

We’re working with a well-established, people-focused consultancy that supports some of the UK’s most complex and high-profile infrastructure programmes. They are now looking to appoint a Project Manager to join their growing delivery team, working on major site development and capability projects across the infrastructure and construction sectors.

This role is full-time with a flexible working arrangement: typically 3-4 days on site and 1-2 days working from home. It's ideal for a Project Manager who enjoys variety, responsibility, and working collaboratively with clients, consultants and contractors. You’ll be trusted to manage projects end-to-end, supported by experienced senior leaders, and given the autonomy to make a real impact on how projects are delivered.

What You’ll Be Doing

As a Project Manager, you’ll play a hands-on role in delivering complex infrastructure projects from early design through to construction and handover. Your responsibilities will include:

Managing projects within a wider major infrastructure programme

Leading planning, scheduling, reporting, risk, change and quality management activities

Coordinating multi-disciplinary teams, including designers, consultants and construction contractors

Developing and maintaining project baselines for cost, programme and resources

Managing change through formal change control processes

Monitoring progress, performance and KPIs to support clear, informed decision-making

Building strong relationships with clients and stakeholders at all levels

Ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently and in line with governance requirements

How You’ll Work

You’ll be part of a collaborative consultancy environment that values trust, professionalism and continuous improvement. You’ll work closely with senior project leaders, commercial teams and technical specialists, with the opportunity to:

Take ownership of your projects while being supported by experienced mentors

Contribute ideas, challenge ways of working and help shape project outcomes

Learn from a broad range of sectors, clients and delivery models

Develop your career within a consultancy that genuinely invests in its people

Commercial & Contract Exposure

Managing budgets, schedules and scope across your projects

Supporting cost-effective delivery while managing risk and opportunity

Working with NEC forms of contract (NEC4 preferred), including change and compensation events

What They’re Looking For

Degree in Construction Management, Project Management or a related discipline

Professional Project Management qualification or equivalent industry experience

Experience delivering construction or infrastructure projects as a Project Manager

Strong understanding of project controls, planning, risk and change management

Experience working across both design and construction phases

Knowledge of NEC contracts (NEC4 desirable)

Confident communicator who can build strong client and stakeholder relationships

A proactive, collaborative mindset suited to consultancy environments

Why Join This Consultancy?

This is a consultancy that values people as much as projects. You’ll be supported, trusted, and encouraged to grow - not micromanaged. You’ll work on meaningful infrastructure projects, alongside experienced professionals, in an environment that promotes collaboration, flexibility and long-term career development
