Our client is a fast-growing, privately-backed property developer with a strong pipeline of high-rise residential and build-to-rent schemes across Manchester and the wider North West. Due to continued growth, they are looking to appoint an experienced Senior Project Manager to join their delivery team.
This is an outstanding opportunity for a construction professional with a strong tier-one contractor background to move client-side and take ownership of live, high-profile residential projects from a development perspective.
