Cognisant is supporting a major UK developer with the appointment of a Senior Project Manager to take responsibility for the planning, procurement and delivery of significant infrastructure works across a large-scale mixed-use master development. This is a broad, client-side project management position offering exposure across the full development lifecycle.
Rather than joining at a single stage of delivery, the successful individual will be involved from early strategy, planning and technical development through procurement and into construction, completion and handover. The scale and long-term nature of the development means the role will provide exposure to complex infrastructure delivery alongside the wider commercial, planning and development considerations associated with bringing forward a major masterplan.
The Role
Reporting into the senior infrastructure leadership team, you will take ownership of major infrastructure projects and workstreams, coordinating internal teams, consultants, contractors, local authorities and other key stakeholders.
Responsibilities will include:
- Leading major infrastructure workstreams from inception through to completion
- Developing project scopes, programmes, budgets, cashflows and delivery strategies
- Managing highways, utilities, drainage, civils, enabling works and associated infrastructure
- Procuring and managing multidisciplinary consultant teams
- Supporting contractor procurement, tendering and contract administration
- Managing planning requirements, technical approvals and statutory agreements
- Monitoring programme, budget, risk, change and project performance
- Working alongside commercial teams on procurement strategy, variations and value engineering
- Managing contractors through construction, completion and defects
- Ensuring appropriate health and safety standards are maintained
