Job description

Willmott Dixon is searching for a Project Manager to successfully lead prestigious projects (£20m/£60m) in the North East and find a new home within our award-winning company.

As a tier 1 building contractor, Project Managers are our project leaders – from early engagement with customers through their entire journey with us. This includes preconstruction, developing a workable programme, leading delivery, and successful handover. You make the big decisions on our biggest projects. You build and lead amazing teams. You own it.

Ultimately, we build our reputation on how we deliver brilliant projects for our customers. As a Project Manager, you lead all aspects of delivery: quality, cost, time, and ensuring everyone gets home safely every day.

We have an exciting pipeline of work in the North East, having secured our turnover for 2024. This is a great opportunity for someone to join us and help shape the built environment throughout the Northeast sustainably.

We expect you’ll have a successful track record of project delivery (facing and overcoming many challenges), work collaboratively with your customers, and respect supply chain partners.

Sound like you? If so, come and join our team and become a great ambassador of our business.

In return

We reward our people generously with a competitive salary and a market-leading benefits package that offers flexible benefits to fit your lifestyle and priorities. This includes, but is not limited to, an enhanced pension scheme, discounted or full private medical, life assurance, incentive bonus, and a car scheme promoting sustainable company travel. Roles may benefit from a motoring expenditure allowance (MEA), and everyone can access low carbon and electric cars via the Willmott Dixon car leasing scheme.

The minimum requirements for this role include:

• A successful track record of leading and delivering complex projects.
• Controlling costs, timing, and quality in line with targets.
• Reading and accurately interpreting contract documents, programmes, drawings, and technical specifications.
• Managing teams, including supply chain, direct employees, and consultants.
• Appropriate CSCS card.
• First Aid at Work certificate.
• Valid driving licence.
• SMSTS certificate.
• Construction-related degree.
• Working towards MCIOB.
• Use of planning software.
