The Senior Project Manager will focus on programme set-up, governance, stakeholder management, and multidisciplinary coordination during the early stages of major projects. This Senior Project Manager role would suit a capable Senior Project Manager who understands structured public sector decision-making and can establish clear reporting, approvals, risks, responsibilities, and delivery controls. The successful Senior Project Manager will bring broader infrastructure, regeneration, or built environment experience rather than a career focused almost entirely on education, healthcare, defence, nuclear, or aviation projects.
You must have prior construction consultancy experience to be considered for this role.

The Senior Project Manager will lead projects through feasibility, business case development, programme mobilisation, procurement planning, and the wider pre-contract process.
The Senior Project Manager will establish governance structures, coordinate multidisciplinary teams, manage senior stakeholders, monitor project risks, and ensure schemes progress through formal approval gateways.
The Senior Project Manager will work closely with public authorities, technical consultants, engineers, commercial teams, and delivery partners. Responsibilities will include programme reporting, assurance, change control, procurement support, stakeholder engagement, and maintaining robust project controls throughout the early stages of delivery.
