Project Manager

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.

* Experience across one or more sectors such as commercial, education, leisure, or public projects
