The Role
This is a genuine No.1 Project Manager position, with full responsibility for the delivery of a £50m+ project.
The schemes will involve multiple delivery partners, consultants, subcontractors and client-side stakeholders. The successful candidate will take ownership of the project from a delivery perspective, providing clear leadership across the project team and ensuring the highest standards of programme, quality, safety and client satisfaction are maintained.
