FULL TIME

£35,000 - £40,000 Pro-rata plus entry into a company bonus scheme

This is an outstanding career opportunity with a versatile and professional project management company delivering a range of undertakings from short-term, one-off projects to long-term management service agreements and management consultancy support across the UK.

PPM is recruiting for a Project Compliance Manager to join our SPC team. The successful candidate will be responsible for the efficient management and operation of the relevant PFI/DBOM contracts representing the relevant Project Companies and ensuring the provision and monitoring of services in line with the agreed contract documentation.

This role presents opportunities to expand exposure to further PPM projects, and travel to other company offices and sites will be required from time to time.
