Manchester
£85,000–£100,000 plus car allowance, pension and healthcare
A leading UK design-and-build contractor is appointing a Project Manager to lead the delivery of a major high-rise residential development in central Manchester.
This is a full project-lead position with responsibility for an entire building—not an individual package. The project is approaching site mobilisation and forms part of a major long-term regeneration programme.
Reporting to a Project Director, you will coordinate the site, design, commercial and supply-chain teams and take responsibility for programme, safety, quality and delivery.
Responsibilities
- Lead the project from mobilisation through construction and handover.
- Develop and manage the construction programme and short-term delivery plans.
- Coordinate site managers, engineers, designers, commercial staff and subcontractors.
- Manage design release, procurement, technical queries and buildability.
- Oversee RC frame, façade, MEP, fit-out and commissioning interfaces.
- Maintain excellent health and safety and quality-management standards.
- Ensure compliance with the Building Safety Act and higher-risk-building requirements.
- Chair progress meetings and report clearly to the Project Director.
- Manage client, consultant and supply-chain relationships.
- Drive completion, commissioning, snagging and handover.
Candidate requirements
- Project Manager or Senior Project Manager experience with a recognised main contractor.
- A strong record delivering high-rise residential, build-to-rent, PBSA or complex mixed-use developments.
- Experience leading an entire building or substantial project rather than one individual package.
- Detailed knowledge of RC frame, façades, MEP coordination, fit-out and handover.
- Strong programme, design, procurement and subcontractor-management skills.
- Experience working on constrained city-centre sites.
- SMSTS, CSCS and First Aid qualifications.
- Building Safety Act or Gateway 2 experience is highly desirable.
- Able to work permanently on site in Manchester.
Package
- Salary from £85,000 to £100,000, dependent on experience.
- Car allowance.
- Pension.
- Private healthcare.
- Long-term career opportunity with a growing contractor.
