OCS are currently recruiting for an established specialist civils and concrete contractor that is looking to strengthen its project delivery team with an experienced Project Manager for a number of major Civils projects across Cambridgeshire. This is an opportunity for a technically strong, engineering-led Project Manager with a proven background in RC Frame, Groundworks and Infrastructure. Some of the projects will involve working in airside environments, so candidates must be comfortable operating on technically demanding and highly controlled sites.

THE OPPORTUNITY

• Groundworks
• Reinforced Concrete / RC Frame

• Infrastructure
• Foundations & structural works
• Drainage and associated infrastructure
• Airside / operational environments

• Experience managing site teams, subcontractors and supply chains
• Strong programme and planning knowledge
• Experience managing health & safety, quality and environmental requirements
• Excellent client and stakeholder management skills

• The ability to lead from the front and drive project delivery

Airside / airport experience would be highly advantageous, although candidates from other major infrastructure or technically demanding civils environments will also be considered.
