Job Description
Overview
AtkinsRéalis is one of the world's leading design, engineering, and project delivery consultancies, helping to create sustainable buildings, places, and communities that positively impact people's lives. Within our growing Buildings & Places business, we are seeking an ambitious and client-focused Project Manager to join our Southampton team and play a key role in delivering projects that shape the built environment across the South Coast and beyond.
Our Southampton team works with an established and growing portfolio of public and private sector clients, delivering project management and advisory services across a diverse range of property and development sectors. These include residential development, affordable housing, retirement living, education, healthcare, defence, commercial and industrial property, local government estates, and wider placemaking initiatives.
The wider Buildings & Places business supports clients throughout the entire property lifecycle, from strategic business cases and development appraisals through to design, construction, and operational delivery. Based in a vibrant waterfront city with excellent connections across the South Coast, Southampton offers an outstanding place to build a career. The office combines strong local client relationships with the opportunity to collaborate with AtkinsRéalis specialists across the UK and internationally, providing exposure to a wide variety of projects, markets, and clients while remaining part of a close-knit and supportive local team.
Reporting to the Project Management Lead, you will support and lead the successful delivery of projects for regional clients, working with multidisciplinary teams, building trusted client relationships, and contributing to the continued growth of our Project Management offering. You will have the opportunity to work on a wide range of developments that help create high-quality places, support communities, and deliver lasting value for our clients.
This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated project management professional looking to further develop their career within a collaborative, forward-thinking organization that invests in its people, encourages innovation, and provides clear opportunities for professional and personal development.
