Job Description
A highly respected, people-first construction consultancy is looking to appoint a Senior Project Manager to play a key role in its next phase of growth.
This is a genuinely unique opportunity for the right individual to step into a pivotal position within a close-knit, high-performing team, acting as a bridge between the Director and project teams while helping to shape the future direction of the business.
About the Consultancy
From commercial developments to education, public sector regeneration, and leisure & hospitality projects, this consultancy supports clients through every stage of delivery – from initial concept all the way to completion. Known for its collaborative, down-to-earth culture, the team prides itself on a people-first approach, strong client relationships, and a supportive working environment.
With a strong pipeline of exciting projects and continued growth, they are now looking for someone who can add real value beyond delivery – bringing leadership, structure, and energy to the team.
The Role
As a Senior Project Manager, you will:
- Act as a key link between leadership and delivery teams, ensuring smooth communication and project success
- Lead and oversee a range of high-quality projects across multiple sectors, including commercial, education, regeneration, and leisure & hospitality
- Ensure compliance with quality standards, procurement protocols, and governance frameworks (including NEC, JCT, and public sector procedures)
- Mentor and develop junior team members, helping to build capability within the business
- Play a hands-on role in shaping processes, improving delivery, and enhancing client experience
- Build and maintain strong client relationships, acting as a trusted advisor
- Contribute to business development activities and support the continued growth of the consultancy
What They’re Looking For
- A proven Project Manager operating at Senior level, with experience leading projects within a consultancy environment and ready to step into a more influential, leadership-focused role
- Demonstrable experience delivering projects across sectors such as commercial, education, leisure, or public sector developments
- Strong understanding of contract administration, procurement, and governance frameworks (e.g. NEC, JCT, public sector procurement)
- Established client-facing experience, with the ability to build and maintain long-term relationships
- A commercially aware, proactive individual with a collaborative leadership style
- Experience mentoring or managing junior team members
- Professionally accredited (APM, RICS, CIOB or equivalent), or working towards chartership with significant progress
- A proactive mindset with a commitment to continuous improvement and professional development
Why This Role Stands Out
- A true opportunity to make your mark within a growing consultancy
- Work closely with senior leadership and influence business direction
- Join a friendly, supportive, and people-focused team
- Exposure to a diverse range of projects across commercial, education, regeneration, and leisure sectors
- Take ownership of delivery, processes, and client relationships, becoming a trusted figure in the business
