The Opportunity
An established UK main contractor is seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager to lead one of two major new developments in the Slough corridor, both with a construction value in excess of £50m.
The business has established itself as one of the UK's leading privately owned contractors, with an annual turnover of £500m+ and a significant secured order book. They have a strong track record delivering complex, high-value projects for major private-sector clients across industrial & logistics, data centres, life sciences, commercial development, advanced manufacturing and specialist buildings.
The Role
This is a genuine No.1 Project Manager position, with full responsibility for the delivery of a £50m+ project.
The schemes will involve multiple delivery partners, consultants, subcontractors and client-side stakeholders. The successful candidate will take ownership of the project from a delivery perspective, providing clear leadership across the project team and ensuring the highest standards of programme, quality, safety and client satisfaction are maintained.
