Your Role
As an Associate Project Management specialist, you will join a growing team of dedicated Project, Design, and Commercial Managers, delivering major projects across PMCM's sectors. You will lead and develop high‑performing teams, drive business growth, and build strong client relationships, with a focus on net zero and sustainability. You will work closely with clients, multidisciplinary teams, and functional leaders across project management, programme management, design, risk, PMO, cost and carbon management, planning, and information management. You will balance leadership and project delivery, develop internal and external relationships, and expand our project management offering.
What We Are Looking For
- Recognised qualifications (PMP, APM, PRINCE2, or equivalent) and substantial experience managing large‑scale, multidisciplinary infrastructure programmes.
- Extensive stakeholder engagement, client management, and effective communication skills, with a proven track record of building and maintaining high‑performing teams and developing high‑potential team members.
- Strong commercial acumen, including cost management, budget forecasting, and NEC3/4 ECC contract management (accreditation desirable), as well as experience overseeing change management implementation.
- Deep understanding of resource management and forecasting, and the ability to communicate with purpose, lead teams, take line management responsibilities, and act with professionalism and authority.
- Ability to challenge the status quo, drive innovative solutions, and consistently deliver projects to high standards against demanding KPIs.
- Ability to lead in business and relationship development, within existing commissions and new bids.
- Commitment to making a positive impact within civil infrastructure and construction, professional development, sustainability, and contributing to WSP's wider initiatives.
- Degree in a relevant technical discipline (civil engineering, project/construction management) or equivalent combination of qualifications and relevant project experience.
- Membership of a professional institution such as APM ChPP, MRICS, MCCIOB, MCIHT, CEng, MAPM, MICE (or equivalent).
- NEC3/4 ECC Project Manager accreditation is advantageous but not essential.
