CV-LibraryManchester, ENG, GBpermanentPosted: 9 April 2026
Apply NowA highly respected, people-first construction consultancy is looking to appoint a Senior Project Manager to play a key role in its next phase of growth.
This is a genuinely unique opportunity for the right individual to step into a pivotal position within a close-knit, high-performing team, acting as a bridge between the Director and project teams while helping to shape the future direction of the business.
About the Consultancy
From commercial developments to education, public sector regeneration, and leisure & hospitality projects, this consultancy supports clients through every stage of delivery - from initial concept all the way to completion. Known for its collaborative, down-to-earth culture, the team prides itself on a people-first approach, strong client relationships, and a supportive working environment.
With a strong pipeline of exciting projects and continued growth, they are now looking for someone who can add real value beyond delivery - bringing leadership, structure, and energy to the team.
The Role
As a Senior Project Manager, you will:
Act as a key link between leadership and delivery teams, ensuring smooth communication and project success
Lead and oversee a range of high-quality projects across multiple sectors, including commercial, education, regeneration, and leisure & hospitality
Ensure compliance with quality standards, procurement protocols, and governance frameworks (including NEC, JCT, and public sector procedures)
Mentor and develop junior team members, helping to build capability within the business
Play a hands-on role in shaping processes, improving delivery, and enhancing client experience
Build and maintain strong client relationships, acting as a trusted advisor
Contribute to business development activities and support the continued growth of the consultancy
What They’re Looking For
A proven Project Manager operating at Senior level, with experience leading projects within a consultancy environment and ready to step into a more influential, leadership-focused role
Demonstrable experience delivering projects across sectors such as commercial, education, leisure, or public sector developments
Strong understanding of contract administration, procurement, and governance frameworks (e.g. NEC, JCT, public sector procurement)
Established client-facing experience, with the ability to build and maintain long-term relationships
A commercially aware, proactive individual with a collaborative leadership style
Experience mentoring or managing junior team members
Professionally accredited (APM, RICS, CIOB or equivalent), or working towards chartership with significant progress
A proactive mindset with a commitment to continuous improvement and professional development
Why This Role Stands Out
A true opportunity to make your mark within a growing consultancy
Work closely with senior leadership and influence business direction
Join a friendly, supportive, and people-focused team
Exposure to a diverse range of projects across commercial, education, regeneration, and leisure sectors
Take ownership of delivery, processes, and client relationships, becoming a trusted figure in the business
