Job Description:

An award-winning civil engineering and renewables subcontractor is looking for a Project Manager to join their growing team. With a surge in new work and secured frameworks with major energy and renewables clients, as well as several local authorities, this business is scaling rapidly and needs a capable, hands-on leader to take ownership of key projects.

From rail infrastructure to renewables and public sector civils, you’ll work across a wide variety of technically engaging projects — all while having a direct impact on the company’s direction and future success.

This is a full project lifecycle role. You’ll be involved from tender through to delivery, running multiple civil and renewables projects with minimal supervision. The environment is fast-paced and dynamic — ideal for someone who thrives on ownership and action.

They’re looking for someone who gets stuck in and uses their initiative. You’ll be solutions-focused, commercially aware, and confident leading teams and building lasting relationships with stakeholders.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead all phases of projects — from bids and planning to delivery and handover
  • Manage budgets, timelines, resources, and risks with commercial acumen
  • Maintain high standards in health & safety, quality, and environmental compliance
  • Collaborate with internal teams, subcontractors, and external stakeholders
  • Build strong client relationships and become a trusted point of contact
  • Oversee site personnel and manage suppliers, plant, and materials
  • Travel to project sites

Who You Are

  • Experienced Project Manager or Site Agent from a civil engineering and/or renewables
  • Proactive and solutions-focused — you take initiative without needing to be asked
  • Confident working across the full project lifecycle
  • Able to lead and manage teams while maintaining strong client rapport
  • Organised and commercially savvy, with a track record of delivering on time and within budget
  • Comfortable working flexibly, occasionally including weekends or travel
  • Degree-qualified in a relevant discipline
  • Holding a current PTS card would be a benefit.

Why This Role?

  • Influence: You’ll be a key voice in decision-making, helping shape the future of the business
  • Ownership: You’ll run your own projects with full responsibility and autonomy
  • Variety: Work across rail, local authority civils, and renewables frameworks
  • Growth: Be part of a growing team with real opportunities to progress
