We’re working with a well-established main contractor to appoint an experienced Project Manager to take full ownership of a new build retail scheme in the North East.
This is a key role within the business, requiring a strong all-rounder who can take a project from through to delivery and handover. The initial scheme is a retail development, with a clear pipeline of follow-on work in the region, offering long-term continuity for the right individual.
They are looking for someone who can truly own the project, not just manage day-to-day site activity—overseeing programme, commercial awareness, client interface, and overall delivery.
What You’ll Be Doing;
Taking full responsibility for project delivery from inception to completion
Managing programme, budgets, and overall project performance
Leading site teams, including Site Managers and subcontractors
Ensuring works are delivered safely, on time, and to required quality standards
Acting as the main point of contact for clients and consultants
Driving progress and resolving any issues across the project lifecycle
Overseeing procurement, logistics, and resource planning
Managing reporting, project updates, and stakeholder communication
Leading handover, snagging, and final account stages
What You Will Need;
Proven experience operating as a Project Manager within a main contractor environment
Strong track record delivering new build projects through to completion
Experience within retail or commercial sectors desirable
Ability to manage projects holistically, beyond day-to-day site activity
Strong commercial awareness and programme management skills
Excellent communication and leadership ability
SMSTS, CSCS and First Aid as a minimum
Why Apply?
Opportunity to take full ownership of a new build retail project
Clear pipeline of follow-on work in the North East
Work with a stable and growing contractor
Role offering real autonomy and responsibility
If you’re a Project Manager looking for a role where you can take full control of project delivery and be part of a long-term regional pipeline, this is a great opportunity.
