What’s the Opportunity
We are seeking a Senior Project Manager to join our growing Cheltenham Team. This opportunity will suit an experienced individual who is looking to progress their career, and who has a desire and ability to help further grow our business whilst working in a supportive team.

* Good understanding of project delivery processes from RIBA 0-6.
* Proven and in‑depth experience (ideally) of working within professional services in the construction industry. Experience within project management specifically will be a strong advantage.
* The ability to lead projects and teams, and to develop long‑lasting client relationships, with autonomy.
