Huddersfield - Hybrid working with UK-wide travel

This is an exciting opportunity for a Project Manager to join a growing consultancy at a key stage of its development. You''ll be involved in delivering nationally recognised retail and infrastructure projects, with genuine influence over how projects are run and the chance to grow alongside a business expanding year on year.

Are you able to manage multiple aspects of live construction projects simultaneously? Have you got experience overseeing retail/highways/infrastructure construction projects? Are you looking for a supportive environment where you can develop your skills and progress in your career?

The business operates as a multi-disciplinary consultancy delivering surveying, planning, design, and project management services across highways, civils, retail, and forecourt environments. A major portion of work supports large national clients delivering car park refurbishments, highways upgrades, petrol filling station redevelopments, and specialist technology installations. With recent client wins and a clear strategy to diversify further into new sectors, this is a business with strong momentum and stability.

You''ll be responsible for managing projects from allocation through delivery, acting as the main point of contact for clients and contractors. Working alongside cost managers and construction managers, you''ll scope works, coordinate tender processes, chair meetings, and oversee delivery through to completion and final accounts.

This role suits a Project Manager with consultancy or client-side experience who is comfortable communicating with multiple stakeholders. You''ll be organised, proactive, and confident managing works on live operational sites, with the flexibility to travel occasionally across the UK.

With a strong focus on internal promotion, this position offers a clear and structured progression route from Project Manager to Senior Project Manager, Associate Director, and ultimately Director level. You''ll be supported within a close-knit, family-feel team where ideas are valued, decisions are made quickly, and individuals are genuinely invested in.
