We’re excited to be partnering with a well-established, forward-thinking independent consultancy that’s looking to welcome an ambitious Project Manager to their growing Manchester team. Known for blending technical expertise with practical know-how, they deliver top-quality cost and project management across the built environment. From commercial developments to education, public sector regeneration, and leisure & hospitality projects, they support clients through every stage - from initial concept all the way to completion. With strong client relationships and a people-first mindset, this consultancy offers a friendly, collaborative environment where you can really grow your career.

This is a great opportunity for a Project Manager who is ideally working towards chartership (RICS, APM, or similar) and is keen to get involved in projects that make a real difference to communities. The company values a purpose-led culture that genuinely supports your professional development. With a focus on sustainability, long-term value, and practical learning, it’s a place where curiosity, integrity, and meaningful contributions are welcomed and rewarded.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead or support the delivery of projects from inception through to completion
• Assist in defining project scopes, goals, deliverables, and success criteria
• Coordinate and manage design teams, stakeholders, contractors, and suppliers
• Prepare and maintain project programmes, reports, and documentation
• Monitor project progress, budgets, and risk registers
• Ensure compliance with quality standards, procurement protocols, and governance frameworks (e.g. NEC, JCT, public sector procedures)
• Contribute to business development and client relationship management

About You:

• Working towards (or recently achieved) professional accreditation (APM, RICS, CIOB, or equivalent)
• Experience across one or more sectors such as commercial, education, leisure, or public projects
• Strong organisational and communication skills, with confidence in a client-facing environment
• Proactive mindset with a collaborative approach and commitment to continuous learning

What’s on Offer:

• A clearly structured route to progression, with tailored support from experienced senior leaders
• Ongoing mentoring and development towards chartership
• Hybrid working and flexible arrangements to suit your work-life balance
• A friendly, non-corporate culture that values people as much as performance
• The opportunity to work on purpose-driven projects that shape communities for the better
