Senior Project Manager

Apply for this job

A rare and career-defining opportunity has arisen for an experienced Senior Project Manager to play a leading role on one of the most significant public sector programmes currently underway - a £110 million+ Blue Light masterplan.


This flagship programme comprises twelve buildings delivered within a coordinated, campus-style redevelopment, including a mix of new builds, refurbishments and modernisation schemes. The scale, technical complexity and community impact of this multi-phase framework make it an exceptional opportunity for an ambitious Senior PM looking to step up to larger, more complex programmes.


You’ll be joining a respected, forward-thinking multidisciplinary consultancy known for its collaborative culture, innovative delivery methods and strong public-sector reputation. This role offers excellent development potential, with clear pathways toward Associate Director.


Why This Role Stands Out

  • Lead major workstreams within a £110m+ multi-building public sector programme
  • Contribute to a high-profile redevelopment with significant regional impact
  • Work in a consultancy that champions progression, innovation and autonomy
  • Gain exposure to complex, multi-stakeholder and politically sensitive environments
  • A standout programme that will significantly elevate your CV and career trajectory


Key Responsibilities

As a Senior Project Manager, you will take leadership responsibility across key elements of the masterplan:

  • Lead the delivery of multiple building projects within the wider programme
  • Oversee all stages from inception, business case and design through to construction and handover
  • Manage stakeholder engagement across clients, consultants, contractors and end-user groups
  • Ensure delivery meets programme, budget, quality and compliance expectations
  • Lead NEC3/4 or JCT contract administration, including change control and compensation events
  • Manage risk, reporting, governance and programme controls across your workstreams
  • Provide guidance and support to Project Managers, Assistant PMs, and internal teams
  • Champion best practice and contribute to continuous improvement across the consultancy


Ideal Candidate Profile

The successful candidate will bring:

  • Strong experience delivering multi-building, complex or large-scale construction projects
  • Solid working knowledge of NEC3/4 contracts
  • Proven ability to manage complex public sector programmes or frameworks
  • Excellent communication, leadership and stakeholder management skills
  • Professional qualification such as MRICS, MAPM, MCIOB, or equivalent (or working towards)
  • A proactive, solutions-driven and collaborative approach
  • The ambition to progress toward an Associate Director role


What’s On Offer

  • Competitive salary + extensive benefits package
  • Hybrid working to support flexibility and work-life balance
  • The opportunity to lead key elements of one of the UK’s highest-profile public sector programmes
  • Clear career progression routes within a growing consultancy
  • A supportive, collaborative culture that values innovation and professional development


Take the Next Step

If you're ready to lead major parts of a landmark public sector redevelopment - and take on a truly career-defining project - this Senior Project Manager role offers the perfect next step.
