As a Construction Project Manager in the UK, you will lead projects from concept through to completion, working alongside high-calibre teams to advance Tesla's mission. You will be the primary driver for each project, coordinating cross-functional teams, consultants, and contractors to ensure seamless delivery, adherence to budget and programme, and high-quality outcomes that support Tesla's growth and commitment to sustainable energy.
What You'll Do
- Plan and manage due diligence on prospective sites with the Design Team, including full audits of existing conditions covering HVAC, electrical, drainage, structural fabric, flooring, and health & safety
- Review drawings and specifications with relevant parties at key RIBA stages to confirm design feasibility, budget alignment, and programme impact
- Prepare, present, and refine CapEx budgets for all projects, and track expenditure throughout the project lifecycle
- Coordinate with Procurement to arrange site visits, manage the tender process and tender programme, handle RFIs, and lead page-turn reviews with shortlisted bidders
- Ensure all project documentation is collated and maintained, including site directories, CDM/EHS documentation, change control logs, two-week look-ahead programmes, and other project records
- Oversee day-to-day project coordination, including regular meetings with stakeholders and the Principal Contractor, and manage payment applications, valuations, and close-out documentation
- Ensure all employer-supplied items are ordered in good time and that Facilities Maintenance receive the necessary handover packs and as-built information for post-opening site management
- Champion compliance with UK statutory requirements, including CDM 2015, Building Regulations, planning conditions, and relevant British Standards
