To succeed in this role, you must have excellent communication skills and experience of the design and construction process. If you crave a challenging role but need flexibility and work-life balance, our new Project Manager position may be ideal for you. We are very interested in talking to people who are looking for a new challenge or may be returning from a career break or are thinking about moving from engineering into project management.
Inviting bright minds
Do you want to push the boundaries of your profession and develop your excellence in an open, collaborative and empowering culture? We work to create a sustainable future and our inspiring projects and innovative solutions aim to set the standard among our peers.

We work across a variety of projects and sectors from large commercial and residential developments, boutique hotels and high-end retail stores to higher education and science buildings locally, nationally and internationally. The London office team culture is one of inclusion, collaboration and enjoyment, where they warmly welcome new team members into their fold.
Your key tasks and responsibilities will be:
