We are currently seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager to join a major Tier-One main contractor and take overall ownership of the delivery of a £50m warehouse project in Manchester.

Requiring a confident and commercially astute Project Manager who can take full ownership of the programme, drive delivery and provide strong leadership across the project team, supply chain and key stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

• Take full ownership of the project programme, driving progress from pre-construction through to completion.

• Chair and lead project meetings, progress reviews and programme workshops.
• Ensure appropriate reporting is provided to senior management and the client.
• Maintain high standards of health, safety, quality and environmental performance.
• Lead the project through to successful completion and handover.

About You

We are looking for an established Senior Project Manager with a strong track record of delivering large-scale industrial, logistics, warehouse or commercial projects for a Tier-One main contractor.

You will need to be someone who is comfortable taking ownership and accountability, rather than simply managing individual packages. You should have the leadership, commercial awareness and programme management skills to drive a complex project and bring the wider team with you.

The Person

Above all, we are looking for a leader who takes ownership.

You will be expected to take control of the programme, establish clear direction, challenge performance where required and ensure the project team remains focused on delivery. You should be commercially aware, decisive and capable of operating at a senior level with both the client and your own business.
