Description:
We are working with a well-established and highly respected civil engineering consultancy looking to appoint a talented Project Manager to join their growing team.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious project professional seeking a client-side consultancy role, where you will act as a trusted advisor to clients and take ownership of projects from feasibility and procurement through to delivery and handover.
Unlike contractor-side roles, this position offers the chance to work across multiple schemes from a strategic and advisory perspective-managing programme, risk, procurement, and stakeholder engagement while ensuring successful project outcomes for clients across the construction and civil engineering sectors.
This role would suit someone currently working within a consultancy environment, or a contractor-side professional looking to transition into a more client-facing project management position.
The Role
As Project Manager, you will be responsible for overseeing multiple projects on behalf of clients, ensuring successful delivery against programme, budget, quality, and risk objectives.
Key responsibilities include:
Managing construction and civil engineering projects from inception to completion on behalf of clients
Producing tender documentation and administering procurement processes
Reviewing and evaluating contractor tenders and making recommendations to clients
Preparing detailed project reports, progress updates, and delivery strategies
Developing and monitoring project programmes, key milestones, and deliverables
Managing project risk registers and implementing mitigation strategies
Administering projects under NEC contract frameworks
Supporting compliance with CDM Regulations and wider governance requirements
Chairing and attending project meetings with clients, contractors, consultants, and stakeholders
Acting as the key interface between all project parties to drive successful delivery
About You
We are keen to speak with candidates who understand the demands of project delivery and can confidently operate in a client advisory capacity.
You will ideally have:
Degree qualification in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or a related discipline
Experience delivering projects within a consultancy, client-side, or contractor environment
Strong working knowledge of the NEC suite of contracts (NEC accreditation advantageous)
Good understanding of CDM Regulations and duty holder responsibilities
Strong commercial awareness with experience managing programme and risk
Sound technical knowledge of UK construction standards / Eurocodes
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
Strong report writing and presentation abilities
Proficiency in Microsoft Office, including Excel, Project, and PowerPoint
This opportunity offers genuine long-term progression within a collaborative consultancy environment, working on varied and technically interesting projects with high-profile clients.
