Senior Project Manager

Description:

Senior Project Manager

Pontypridd, South Wales | Salary up to £65,000

Ready to step into a role where your project management experience really makes a difference?

We're working with an established and forward-thinking engineering firm in Pontypridd, South Wales, who are looking to appoint an experienced Senior Project Manager to join their growing team.

This is an opportunity to work on a genuinely interesting portfolio of engineering projects, with the Local Authority sector through the SEWF forming a key part of the business. If you've worked in this environment before, you'll understand that these projects have their own pace, processes and challenges - and that experience could be a major advantage.

This isn't your typical main contracting environment. You'll be operating in a setting where understanding the client, navigating stakeholder requirements and delivering projects effectively is just as important as keeping programmes and budgets on track.

The Role

As a Senior Project Manager, you'll take ownership of projects from inception through to completion, coordinating internal teams, consultants, contractors and key stakeholders to ensure successful delivery.

You'll be trusted to bring structure, energy and leadership to your projects, while building strong relationships with clients and helping the business continue to grow.

You'll be involved in:

Leading and managing engineering projects from start to finish
Managing programmes, budgets, risks and resources
Working closely with Local Authority clients and stakeholders
Coordinating design teams, consultants and delivery partners
Managing project documentation, reporting and governance
Identifying and resolving issues before they become problems
Supporting the continued development of the project delivery functionWhat We're Looking For

We're looking for a Senior Project Manager who knows how to get things moving and, importantly, understands the nuances of delivering projects for public-sector clients.

Experience working with Local Authorities and/or through the SEWF would be highly desirable. You'll appreciate that success in this environment isn't simply about driving a programme at maximum speed - it's about understanding the process, managing stakeholders effectively and delivering the right outcome for the client.

We'd also like to see:

Strong project management experience within an engineering, construction or infrastructure environment
Proven experience managing multiple stakeholders
Commercial and financial awareness
Excellent communication and organisational skills
The confidence to lead projects and make decisions
A collaborative, proactive approach
Relevant project management or engineering qualifications are advantageousWhy Join?

This is a fantastic opportunity for a Senior Project Manager looking to move away from the conventional main contracting model and into an environment offering a different type of project challenge.

You'll have the opportunity to work closely with public-sector clients, influence project outcomes and become a key part of a business with ambitious plans for growth.

Salary: up to £60,000, depending on experience.

If you're an experienced Senior Project Manager who understands Local Authority-led projects and wants your next move to offer something a little different, we'd love to hear from you.
