We''re seeking an experienced Project Manager with a strong civil engineering background to join a growing project delivery team, taking responsibility for complex infrastructure schemes and playing a hands-on role in their successful delivery.

  • Lead project delivery: Manage civil engineering projects from mobilisation through construction to completion and final handover.

  • Take ownership of performance: Manage project programmes, budgets, forecasts and reporting, including cost-value reconciliations (CVRs), identifying issues early and taking action to keep projects on track.

  • Manage resources effectively: Oversee the procurement and coordination of plant, labour, materials and subcontractors, ensuring resources are used efficiently and deliver value.

  • Influence design and engineering: Interpret technical drawings and client specifications, working closely with designers to resolve technical challenges and inform design changes where required.

  • Maintain quality and compliance: Ensure RAMS, quality plans, environmental controls and other project documentation are developed, implemented and maintained.

  • Lead commercially: Apply your understanding of contracts, costs and subcontractor performance to protect project outcomes and support sound commercial decisions.



What you''ll bring

You''ll ideally have:

  • A degree or HND in Civil Engineering, or an equivalent relevant qualification.

  • Proven experience as a Project Manager delivering civil engineering or infrastructure projects.

  • Strong commercial awareness, including experience managing budgets, forecasts, cost reporting and subcontractor performance.

  • A sound understanding of construction contracts, ideally including NEC.

  • Confidence using Microsoft Office, project planning software and digital cost management or reporting systems.

  • A full UK driving licence.
