About you
We’re looking for an experienced Project Manager who has worked for a main contractor within civil engineering or infrastructure.
You’ll need a strong track record of managing projects and site teams, good commercial awareness and the ability to manage clients and stakeholders confidently.

A competitive salary, car/car allowance and benefits package is available, alongside a strong pipeline of work across the region.
