This is a genuinely strong Senior Project Manager opportunity within a growing, well established construction consultancy that continues to win major workplace programmes across the North West.
They are looking to appoint a Senior Project Manager into their Manchester team as part of continued growth, driven by a secured pipeline of work rather than speculative hiring.
You will be joining a high performing project management team delivering Cat A and Cat B commercial fit-out schemes for major clients. These are long term programmes typically ranging from £300m to £500m, offering continuity, scale and complexity rather than one off delivery.

- High end corporate office environments for financial institutions
- Large scale workplace programmes with repeat clients
- Complex refurbishments within listed and heritage buildings
- Design led projects where quality and detail matter

There has also been a strong run of internal promotions recently, giving a clear and realistic pathway for progression.
The role - You will take ownership of projects from early stage through to completion
- Act as the key point of contact for clients and stakeholders
- Lead coordination across design, commercial and delivery teams
- Manage programme, risk and quality across multiple schemes
- Support and mentor junior team members within the team
About you You will be operating within a construction consultancy, developer or main contractor environment.
- Strong experience delivering Cat A and or Cat B commercial fit-out projects
- Comfortable in a client facing role and leading meetings
- Good understanding of JCT contracts and project delivery
- Either an established Senior Project Manager or a Project Manager ready to step up
What is on offer - Clear progression backed by recent promotions within the team
- Exposure to large scale programmes rather than isolated projects
- Opportunity to move across sectors and broaden your experience
- Strong pipeline with repeat clients and secured work
- Flexible hybrid working and supportive team environment
If you are open to exploring a move, we would be happy to give you a clearer view of the team, projects and how this could fit into your longer term career.
