Job Description:

Carriera is working with an established client-side construction consultancy to recruit a Senior Project Manager to take ownership of the delivery of multiple construction projects across a varied and active portfolio. The role involves leading projects from early pre-planning through to handover, with typical values ranging between £1m and £10m. Works include a mix of new build, conversion, fit-out and external works, delivered across different asset types and stakeholder groups. You will be responsible for the overall leadership of your projects, including programme management, design coordination, consultant and contractor oversight, and project governance. While cost planning and commercial management are supported by an in-house cost management team, you will work closely with them to ensure budgets, forecasts and cost control are aligned with delivery strategy and wider client objectives. This is a client-facing role with a high level of autonomy and trust. The successful candidate will be comfortable acting as the lead point of contact for clients and senior stakeholders, shaping delivery strategy, managing risk and driving projects forward through all stages of the lifecycle.

Administer building contracts in line with JCT requirements, including instructions, extensions of time and progress reporting
Work collaboratively with the cost management team on budgets, cost plans, forecasts, variations and overall cost control
Oversee site progress and quality, ensuring delivery aligns with design intent, programme and statutory obligations

Requirements:

Proven experience delivering multiple construction projects concurrently from inception to completion
Experience in a client-side or consultancy environment where you have taken clear ownership of projects
A strong understanding of the full development lifecycle, including design, planning, procurement and construction
