The Opportunity
An excellent opportunity has arisen for an experienced Project Manager to join a well-established, family-owned regional main contractor based in Berkshire.
The business has a strong reputation across the M4 corridor and surrounding counties, delivering a wide range of projects across the commercial, leisure, industrial, education, healthcare, refurbishment and new build sectors. They are known for their hands-on approach, strong client relationships and consistent delivery of quality projects.
Due to continued growth and a strong pipeline of secured work, they are now looking to appoint a Project Manager to take responsibility for one of several upcoming schemes, which include:

The Company
The contractor is a long-established regional business with a strong presence across Berkshire, Hampshire and the wider South. They deliver projects across a range of sectors and have built much of their reputation through repeat business, negotiated work and long-standing client relationships.

Instead, they offer a more personal, collaborative environment where senior management are accessible and project teams are trusted to take ownership. Their work is typically focused on projects ranging from smaller works through to multi-million-pound schemes, with a strong emphasis on programme, quality, budget control and client satisfaction.
The Role
As Project Manager, you will take overall responsibility for the successful delivery of a new build or refurbishment project from early stages through to completion.
