Description:
Accredited NEC4 Construction Project Manager needed for a major Midlands local authority, with an anticipated start in the next 1–2 months, subject to award, and running through to March 2029.
This is a substantial construction-phase role on a complex urban infrastructure programme. The postholder will act as Project Manager under the NEC4 ECC form of contract, Option C, taking responsibility for contract commencement, programme management, risk, commercial management, contract administration and contract close-out.
The role will suit a highly credible highways, civils or infrastructure professional with strong NEC contract administration experience and the confidence to operate in a constrained city-centre environment. You will manage Contractor engagement, programme agreement, early warning and risk processes, change management, valuations, payment certificates, outturn forecasting, completion certificates, final accounts and contractual records.
Applicants will need strong experience of similar construction contracts, ideally with at least 10 years managing or supporting comparable schemes. Experience of local authority governance, constrained urban delivery, stakeholder engagement, statutory utilities coordination, CDM 2015, highway legislation, NRSWA and relevant highway specifications will be important.
The role will involve regular project board reporting, chairing meetings, maintaining risk and cost information, liaising with elected members, members of the public and local stakeholders, and attending site during the construction works, including potential periods of night work.
NEC Project Manager accreditation is required. Chartered membership of ICE, CIHT, RICS, APM, PMI or a similar professional institution would be advantageous.
I am keen to speak with NEC4-accredited Project Managers with direct experience across highways, civils, public realm, infrastructure or complex local authority construction delivery.
