Client Details

Our client is an independent project and cost management consultancy with a reputation for delivering innovative, high-quality projects across residential, commercial, leisure, and infrastructure sectors. Founded over a decade ago, the business has grown steadily by securing unique and often complex projects, from seaside masterplans and multi-million-pound regeneration schemes to quirky, design-led developments.

With a close-knit team of 10 split evenly across Project Management and Quantity Surveying, they punch well above their weight-competing with much larger firms-while maintaining a collaborative and supportive culture. The consultancy is people-focused, offering flexibility, rapid progression opportunities, and a strong commitment to professional development (including in-house RICS mentorship and CPDs).

  • Acting as Contract Administrator on a landmark infrastructure project (new terminal development, multi-year programme)
  • Delivering end-to-end project management across a portfolio of residential, commercial, and regeneration schemes
  • Leading project meetings with senior stakeholders, including CEOs and client boards
  • Driving projects to completion on time, within budget, and to a high standard
  • Mentoring and supporting junior PMs within the team, helping to shape their professional development
  • Coordinating internal resources and third-party consultants for seamless delivery
  • Contributing to the consultancy's reputation for innovation, creativity, and proactive problem-solving

Profile

You should bring:

  • 4+ years' experience in consultancy project management, ideally with Contract Administration expertise
  • Chartered status (MRICS, MCIOB, MAPM) or significant progress toward it
  • Strong, proven experience delivering projects across sectors such as infrastructure, residential, or commercial
  • Confidence operating autonomously while collaborating closely with directors and clients
  • Excellent stakeholder management skills and the ability to influence at a senior level
  • A proactive, hands-on mindset and appetite for career growth in a growing business

Job Offer

  • Twice-yearly bonus scheme: company performance and personal development
  • 4.5-day working week (Friday finish at 12:30pm), with hybrid flexibility
  • Private healthcare (post-probation), CPDs, and a clear professional development framework
  • Opportunities to work on landmark projects ranging from multi-million-pound seafront masterplans to award-winning leisure schemes
  • Vibrant, sociable culture with monthly socials, sweepstakes, and regular team events
  • Genuine long-term progression, with opportunities to move toward Associate and potentially equity in the business
