GIR Group is looking for an experienced Construction Project Manager to join our expanding team.
Our work spans technical advisory, construction, fire and planning. We need someone who can take responsibility for small and medium-sized construction projects, keep control of the programme and costs, and follow the work through to completion.
You’ll work with clients, contractors and our technical team, preparing the programmes, procurement information and project reports needed to keep work moving. The role will suit someone who enjoys solving practical problems and can explain clearly what needs to happen next.
The role
- Prepare and maintain project programmes, budgets and delivery schedules.
- Plan procurement, obtain and compare quotations, and coordinate contractors, suppliers and designers.
- Track progress and dependencies, identifying delays and agreeing recovery actions.
- Maintain cost forecasts and variation records, checking supporting information and obtaining approval before committing to changes.
- Check quality against the agreed scope and arrange competent technical review where needed.
- Keep clients informed through clear progress reports, with risks, decisions and actions recorded.
- Plan testing, snagging and handover, and follow outstanding work through to completion.
About you
You’ll have experience of taking construction projects through to completion, with practical responsibility for programmes, costs, contractors and client communication.
We’re interested in projects you have delivered yourself: how you organised the work, dealt with changes and resolved problems when things went off plan. You should be comfortable producing your own programmes and cost updates, keeping reliable records and making sure agreed actions are completed.
Sound judgement and clear communication are essential. You’ll need to recognise when a decision requires approval or specialist input, and raise safety, quality or programme concerns promptly.
Experience in refurbishment, reinstatement or occupied properties would be useful. Relevant construction, surveying or project-management qualifications and site safety training would also be helpful, alongside evidence of your practical delivery experience.
Shortlisted candidates will be invited to a structured interview and a practical exercise based on a fictional project. We can arrange reasonable adjustments or an alternative application route where needed. Appointments are subject to the relevant agreed checks.
