As Senior Project Manager, you'll take ownership of a varied and challenging programme of works across Scottish Gas Murrayfield, Hive Stadium and the wider Scottish Rugby campus. From infrastructure upgrades and capital investments to essential lifecycle and remedial works, you'll ensure projects are delivered safely, efficiently, on time and within budget.

This is a role for someone who can confidently operate in a fast-paced, live-event environment—balancing operational demands, managing competing priorities and bringing together diverse stakeholders to achieve outstanding results.

  • Provide leadership and direction to the projects team, helping prioritise workload and deliver results.

What we’re looking for:

You'll be a highly organised and commercially minded project professional with a track record of delivering multiple complex projects in challenging operational environments.

We're particularly interested in candidates who bring:

  • A recognised Project Management qualification.
  • 6+ years' project management experience.
  • Proven success managing multiple complex projects at the same time.
  • Experience within construction, engineering, infrastructure, estates, facilities or building services.
