Senior / Associate Project Manager commercial / Retail
Salary: £65,000 – £80,000 + benefits
This expanding consultancy is strengthening its project management capability following significant growth across the UK. They’re now seeking a Senior or Associate Project Manager to take the lead on major new-build developments including new build food retail units.
The Role
You’ll take ownership of major commercial and retail projects from inception to completion, guiding multidisciplinary teams through design, procurement, and delivery. Expect variety, autonomy, and high levels of visibility within the regional leadership team.
Typical responsibilities include:
* Leading end‑to‑end delivery of new‑build schemes valued £10m–£70m+
* Managing client relationships and stakeholder groups across design, construction, and local authorities
* Overseeing Section 278 and highways interface works
* Driving risk, programme, and cost management to ensure successful outcomes
* Mentoring junior project managers and contributing to regional best practice
About You
You’ll be a confident project leader who enjoys the challenge of large-scale delivery and stakeholder coordination. You’ll bring:
* Proven experience managing high-value new‑build projects, ideally within consultancy or client‑side settings
* Strong understanding of project governance, procurement, and commercial drivers
* Experience with Section 278 or other infrastructure‑heavy elements (advantageous)
* Professional qualification (RICS, CIOB, or PMP) desirable but not essential
Chartership isn’t mandatory here – capability and delivery track record come first.
Why Apply?
This is a strategic opportunity to help shape a growing regional PM offering. You’ll have direct access to senior decision-makers, freedom to influence delivery approaches, and a clear pathway toward further leadership.
The team is open, technically strong, and genuinely flexible – typically two to three days in the office or on site, depending on project demands. Travel is supported by a car allowance.
