For individuals looking to apply strong delivery and commercial experience within a broader, more design-led project environment, this represents a particularly compelling opportunity.
Importantly, our client remains open-minded regarding background and job title where candidates can clearly demonstrate the core experience and behaviours required for the role.
As such, applicants who may not yet formally hold the title of Senior Design / Project Manager… but who possess strong relevant exposure across NEC environments, commercial/change management, multidisciplinary coordination and live project delivery… are still strongly encouraged to apply.
In several cases throughout the search, the most compelling candidates have been individuals whose experience aligned particularly well with the operational and commercial challenges of the role itself, even if their years of experience or formal title sat slightly outside a traditional route.
Our client is actively reviewing applications and moving quickly on strong profiles, so we would encourage interested candidates to apply as soon as possible.
