Delivery consultants & construction experts transforming visions into built reality.
The senior project manager is responsible for leading projects to agreed outcomes, delivering on time, cost and quality while managing internal fee expectations, risk mitigation and change management. Collaboration with clients, design teams, consultants and contractors is essential to ensure successful delivery and clear communication of strategies.
You’ll manage programme budgets and risks throughout the lifecycle, ensuring compliance with health, safety, environmental legislation and CDM regulations. Regular monthly updates will report on H&S performance, milestones, risk and opportunity management and financial status. You will develop projects in early phases, oversee design, support tendering, manage delivery, commissioning and post‑completion activities, and act as the main interface with internal and external stakeholders.
Coordinating contractors and multidisciplinary teams, you will integrate delivery interfaces to meet time, cost and specification targets with minimal disruption. You will handle complex third‑party issues such as land, consents, public relations and community stakeholders, chair progress and cost review meetings, and provide leadership, coaching and influence to achieve high performance.
