An opportunity has arisen for an experienced Project Manager (Construction) to join an organisation delivering an ongoing programme of investment across its property portfolio
The role will involve managing a range of new-build housing and residential projects, taking schemes from the early planning and design stages through procurement, construction, completion and handover
We are particularly interested in speaking with people who have experience working within a main contractor, residential developer, Housing Association, Local Authority or client-side environment
The Role
As Project Manager, you will take responsibility for your own portfolio of construction projects, coordinating internal stakeholders, consultants and contractors to ensure schemes are delivered successfully.
Responsibilities will include:
- Managing construction projects from initial concept through to completion
- Coordinating architects, engineers, consultants and contractors
- Managing design development and pre-construction activity
- Supporting contractor selection, tendering and procurement
- Monitoring construction programmes, costs and project performance
- Undertaking regular site visits and progress reviews
- Managing quality and ensuring completed works meet the required standards
- Reviewing contractor valuations, variations and commercial information
- Identifying and resolving programme, design and construction issues
- Working closely with internal stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle
- Managing project risk and maintaining appropriate reporting
- Overseeing completion, snagging and handover
About You
We are looking for an experienced construction professional with a proven background in new-build residential project delivery.
Previous experience delivering one or more of the following is essential:
- New-build housing developments
- Apartment / multi-storey residential schemes
- New-build sheltered, retirement or supported housing
Your experience could have been gained with a main contractor, residential developer, Housing Association, Local Authority, consultancy or client-side organisationYou could currently be working as a Project Manager, Contracts Manager, Construction Manager or Development Project Manager.
You should have a good understanding of the complete construction process, including:
- Pre-construction and design coordination
- Procurement and contractor management
- Construction programme and site delivery
- Cost and commercial management
- Quality, compliance and handover
- JCT contracts and consultant appointments
Experience working across both contractor and client-side environments would be particularly attractive, although candidates with strong residential delivery experience from either background will be considered
This is not a general construction Project Manager position. Applicants will need demonstrable experience delivering new-build housing, apartments or sheltered/retirement residential developments
The Opportunity
This is an opportunity to take responsibility for projects across their full lifecycle, rather than becoming involved purely at construction stage
For someone currently working with a main contractor, it provides the opportunity to move into a client-side role, gaining greater involvement in early-stage development, design, consultant appointments, procurement and project decision-making
For those already working within a Housing Association, Local Authority, developer or client-side environment, it offers the chance to take ownership of a varied programme of new-build residential projects
The position offers flexible working, combined with travel to projects as required
