Senior Project Manager – Construction Consultancy
A growing construction consultancy with a strong presence across the South of England is seeking an ambitious Senior Project Manager to play a key role in expanding their Southern region. This is a unique opportunity for a Senior Project Manager who is not only passionate about project delivery but also motivated to contribute to regional growth across the Southern Home Counties, spanning from Southampton to Kent (south of the M25).
The successful Senior Project Manager will initially be focused on projects in and around Southampton for the first 12 months, making this an ideal role for a Senior Project Manager based in or near the area. This Senior Project Manager position offers a clear pathway to Associate level, making it highly suited to a commercially minded Senior Project Manager with long-term career ambitions.
The Senior Project Manager's role
The Senior Project Manager will lead the delivery of projects from inception through to completion, ensuring successful outcomes across cost, programme, and quality. The Senior Project Manager will be heavily involved in client-facing activities, developing strong relationships and helping to secure repeat and new business opportunities.
You will oversee multidisciplinary teams, manage project controls, and ensure consistent delivery standards. Alongside project responsibilities, the Senior Project Manager will contribute to the strategic growth of the Southern region, supporting business development initiatives and helping to establish a stronger regional presence.
Initially, the Senior Project Manager will focus on Southampton-based projects, before gradually expanding involvement across the wider Southern Home Counties. The Senior Project Manager will also mentor junior team members and support the overall development of the team.
The Senior Project Manager
The ideal Senior Project Manager will have a strong track record of delivering construction projects within a consultancy environment. A proactive and commercially aware mindset is essential, alongside the ability to build lasting client relationships.
A degree in a construction-related discipline is required, with MRICS, MAPM or equivalent accreditation strongly preferred. Extensive knowledge of JCT and NEC contracts is expected.
