An excellent opportunity has arisen for an experienced Project Manager ready to step into a Contracts Manager position with a major civil engineering contractor in the South West.

This is an ideal opportunity for a client-facing Project Manager who has progressed through an engineering/site delivery route and can demonstrate successful delivery of multiple major civil engineering projects.

You do not need to already hold the title of Contracts Manager. The focus is on finding someone with the right project delivery experience, technical background and leadership capability to make that next career move.

The Role

Working as part of an established regional operations team, you will take responsibility for the successful delivery of major civil engineering projects across the region.

Responsibilities will include:

• Supporting pre-construction and planning activities as new projects come through
• Providing leadership and direction to project teams
• Maintaining effective communication between clients, operational teams and senior management

• A minimum of 2 years' experience operating at Project Manager level
• A career developed through an engineering/site delivery route
