Job Description:

Project Manager – Civils (Groundworks & Drainage) – Leamington Spa – Permanent or Freelance (CIS)

We’re looking for an experienced Civils Project Manager to take control of a groundworks and drainage package on a live job in Leamington Spa.

This isn’t a sit‑behind‑a‑desk role — you’ll be expected to run the job properly, manage the site team, keep things moving, and deal with the day‑to‑day realities of delivery.

Responsibilities

  • Running the project on site from start through to completion
  • Managing engineers, supervisors, and subcontractors
  • Keeping the programme on track and pushing progress where needed
  • Dealing with clients and keeping communication straightforward and honest
  • Working with the commercial team on costs, variations, and any issues
  • Ensuring standards are met without overcomplicating things

Qualifications

  • Solid experience delivering groundworks and drainage schemes
  • Ability to take ownership and make decisions
  • Strong people‑management skills
  • Commercially aware with an understanding of impact on cost
  • SMSTS, CSCS, First Aid (or working towards)
  • Engineering background helpful, but not essential

Offer

  • Competitive salary or day rate depending on preference
  • Corporate Income Support (CIS) available for freelance
  • Decent run of work with a busy contractor
  • Clear, straightforward setup with no politics, focusing on getting the job done

If you’re a Project Manager comfortable running civils jobs and doesn’t need hand‑holding, this will suit you.
