The Opportunity

An established UK main contractor is seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager to lead one of two major new developments in the Slough corridor, both with a construction value in excess of £50m.

The business has established itself as one of the UK’s leading privately owned contractors, with an annual turnover of £500m+ and a significant secured order book. They have a strong track record delivering complex, high-value projects for major private-sector clients across industrial & logistics, data centres, life sciences, commercial development, advanced manufacturing and specialist buildings.

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.

Key Responsibilities

  • Take overall responsibility as the No.1 Project Manager for a £50m+ major building project.
  • Lead the project team through the construction and delivery phases.
  • Develop and manage detailed delivery strategies and programmes.
  • Coordinate multiple subcontractors, consultants, partners and stakeholders.
  • Maintain strong relationships with the client and professional team.
  • Take ownership of programme, quality, design coordination and project delivery.
  • Lead project meetings and maintain clear communication across all parties.
  • Identify and proactively manage project risks and opportunities.
  • Provide strong leadership to the wider operational and commercial teams.
  • Ensure the project is delivered safely, efficiently and in accordance with contractual requirements.
  • Drive accountability and performance throughout the supply chain.

The Opportunity

This is an opportunity to join a well-established, highly regarded main contractor operating at significant scale, with a portfolio of technically challenging projects and a strong position within the UK construction market.

The business combines the structure, systems and project capability you would expect from a Tier 1 contractor with the more entrepreneurial and commercially driven culture of a privately owned organisation.

For the right individual, this represents the opportunity to take genuine ownership of a £50m+ major scheme, working with a sophisticated client and professional team while playing a senior role within an established operational business.

  • Location: Slough corridor
  • Project Value: £50m+
  • Sector: Commercial / Private Sector
  • Salary: £110,000 + Package
  • Type: Permanent

If you’re an experienced No.1 Project Manager looking for a major project where you can genuinely take ownership, this is an opportunity worth exploring.
