Project Manager Construction Consultancy

A growing construction consultancy in Newbury is looking for a Project Manager to join its established team following several recent retail project wins. This is an excellent opportunity for a Project Manager to take responsibility for new retail commissions while gaining exposure to a broader range of property and construction projects as their role develops.

This Project Manager role would suit an ambitious Project Manager who wants to lead their own commissions while continuing to develop their technical and client-facing skills. The successful Project Manager will join a supportive consultancy that actively encourages professional development and can provide structured support towards chartership.

The Project Manager will chair meetings, coordinate multidisciplinary consultant teams, monitor contractor performance, and maintain strong relationships with clients. They will ensure projects remain on programme, within budget, and aligned with the required quality standards.

Over time, the Project Manager will have the opportunity to broaden their sector experience and take responsibility for an increasingly varied portfolio of commissions.
