Project Manager (Client-side) | Associate Director

The Opportunity

We are proud to be working with several housing associations, local authorities and developers on a range of differing projects.  With a strong pipeline of mixed-use, public realm and residential developments, we are committed to delivering outstanding results for our clients and partners.   Our projects range from £2m through to a typical value of £20m and everything else in between.

This role requires an ambitious and driven candidate who will be an integral part of the Project Management team, playing a key role in the delivery of projects from inception through to completion.  The role not only offers excellent career progression opportunities within the business but also an opportunity to grow quickly into a management role for those who are looking to fast-track their career.

As an Associate Director Project Manager, you will be instrumental in leading and overseeing the successful delivery of our public realm, residential, town centre, heritage and other projects. Working closely with the Development team and Joint Venture (JV) partners, you will contribute to town centre master planning initiatives, shaping the vision and executing projects to achieve our client’s objectives. With your expertise in managing complex schemes and your ability to collaborate effectively, you will have the opportunity to make a significant impact on our business, grow and share in the success that this brings and grow with the role.

We are not the typical consultancy with a glass ceiling and complex structure; we have a clear vision and plan for growth, with like-minded individuals all pulling in the same direction.
