Job description

Infrastructure Project Manager

Birmingham

Salary up to £55k

I'm working with a growing, independent construction consultancy that's looking to appoint an experienced Infrastructure Project Manager to join their Birmingham team.

This is an exciting opportunity to become part of a forward-thinking consultancy that was built on doing things differently. Established by industry professionals who wanted to move away from the constraints of large corporate firms, they've created a business with a genuine people-first culture, collaborative working environment and clear opportunities for career progression.

With a strong pipeline of infrastructure projects across highways, transport, regeneration, public sector, healthcare and education, you'll have the opportunity to work on a varied portfolio of schemes while playing a key role in the continued growth of the business.

If you're looking for greater autonomy, direct client exposure and the chance to make a real impact within a growing consultancy, this could be the perfect next step.

The Role

As an Infrastructure Project Manager, you'll be responsible for leading projects from inception through to completion, ensuring they are delivered safely, on programme, within budget and to the highest quality standards. Working closely with clients, consultants and contractors, you'll play a pivotal role in driving successful project outcomes while building long-term client relationships.

Key Responsibilities

• Managing the successful delivery of infrastructure projects from feasibility through to handover.
• Leading the day-to-day management of projects, ensuring programme, cost, quality and risk objectives are achieved.
• Acting as the primary point of contact for clients, providing trusted advice throughout the project lifecycle.
• Coordinating multidisciplinary project teams, including designers, contractors, cost consultants and key stakeholders.
• Developing and maintaining project programmes, governance documentation and regular progress reports.
• Chairing project meetings, workshops and stakeholder engagement sessions.
• Supporting procurement strategies, tender processes and contractor appointments.
• Managing project risks, opportunities, change control and project reporting.
• Ensuring compliance with CDM regulations, health & safety legislation and client governance procedures.
• Supporting and mentoring junior members of the project management team as the business continues to expand.

About you

• Degree qualified in Construction Management, Civil Engineering or another relevant construction-related discipline.
• Proven experience delivering infrastructure projects (Highways project experience is highly desirable) within a consultancy or client-side environment.
• Strong understanding of NEC contracts (JCT knowledge would also be beneficial).
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to build lasting client relationships.
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
• Working towards or already achieved Chartered status (APM, RICS, ICE or equivalent) is desirable.
• A proactive, collaborative mindset with a passion for delivering high-quality projects.

What's on Offer

• Private healthcare.
• Company pension contribution.
• Paid professional memberships and full chartership support.
• Parking provided and travel expenses covered for local office and site travel.
• Electric vehicle salary sacrifice scheme.
• Clear progression opportunities within a growing and ambitious Project Management team.
• A supportive, collaborative culture where your development is genuinely encouraged.
• ...and much more!
