FRA Lead Project Manager in Edinburgh

Bellrock is the trusted challenger in UK property services. Driven by insights, powered by technology, and delivered by talented people, we are redefining how real estate is managed. Since 2003, our people‐first and technology‐led approach has helped organisations across the UK transform their estates into high‐performance, sustainable environments. Through our integrated service model spanning Technologies, Consulting, Critical Engineering & Jordon, and Intelligent Asset Care we deliver compliance, quality, and operational excellence while reducing cost and carbon impact.

As an FRA Lead Project Manager, you will be operating at a senior level within the FRA Department and be expected to support and manage FRA projects as directed in order to facilitate the successful delivery of high‐quality FRA work and project delivery, as commissioned through Bellrock brands. You will support the Head of FRA in the delivery of a selected portfolio of some of our most prestigious FRA projects, focusing on nurturing key client relationships and ensuring that our clients receive great service and technical excellence.

You will lead a new project to embed a new team whose focus will be supporting Bellrock's wider client base on FRA services, acting as the main technical lead and 'trusted advisor' to clients, providing support and solutions to issues identified and developing strong client relationships. As a trusted advisor for clients, you will use tests of proportionality and the benefit gained from preventive and protective measures taken in response to risk, allowing consideration of cost for clients.

It is important that you establish that the advice provided is a risk‐proportionate measure, taking into account other risk factors and fire safety features of the building. You will also need to develop a firm grasp on the commercial levers to drive revenue and profitability and understand and manage against attritional factors that can reduce the gross margin of the key accounts you have ownership of.

As well as this, you will be a role model for junior or less experienced consultants and encouraged to be a proactive member of a high performing team, sharing your knowledge and experience to help develop other team members. This includes upholding and abiding by both the company and professional bodies code of conduct and culture.

The role will involve travel to job sites as required and attendance at regional offices on occasion. We like to schedule a training/CPD day at least once per quarter and also make use of this time for team bonding and experience sharing. There is also the expectation that you will be responsible for managing and planning your time in advance, working with our project support team to meet Client needs.
