Job description

Overview

Leicester & South | £50,000-£60,000 + 15% bonus

Do you thrive on juggling multiple projects, keeping clients happy, and solving problems before they become issues? If you're hungry to grow, humble enough to roll up your sleeves, and smart in how you get things done — we'd love to hear from you.

What you'll do

• Be the bridge between clients, internal teams, and subcontractors — keeping everyone aligned.
• Own client relationships: ensuring updates are clear, expectations are managed, and customers stay happy.
• Coordinate moving parts: from schedulers and technical drawings to install teams and materials.
• Solve problems fast: whether that\'s a missing delivery, an on-site issue, or a scheduling clash.
• Get on site 1-2 days a week overseeing progress, troubleshooting, and building trust with clients; be based in the Leicester office.
• Ensure a professional customer focused project delivery each time to our clients.

Who we\'re looking for

• This isn\'t a typical main contractor PM role. Instead, you\'ll thrive if you:
• Come from an operations or subcontractor background, where juggling multiple projects is second nature.
• Have experience in working at height or construction services (a bonus, not essential).
• Are commercially aware, highly organised, and thrive under pressure.
• Embody our values: Passionate, Smart, Humble.

Why join us?

You won\'t just be “another cog” in the wheel. As part of a small but growing PM team, you\'ll play a pivotal role in shaping how we deliver projects — and have the chance to make a genuine impact. Our projects may not hit the £multi-millions, but they\'re complex, fast-moving, and highly rewarding.

We\'re specialists in installing working-at-height equipment on high-rise buildings, with project values typically between £50k-£100k. You\'ll be managing 30-50 projects at a time, keeping everything on track from start to finish.

The team you\'ll join

• You\'ll be reporting into our Contracts Manager, working closely with:
• Schedulers (keeping projects moving)
• Technical specialists (checking drawings & fixings)
• Install teams & subcontractors
• Dedicated admin support
• Autonomy to manage your projects your way.

Requirements

• CSCS Card - essential
• SMSTS - essential
• Working at Height Awareness - baseline training for anyone attending sites with high-level access. - Ideal
• PASMA (Prefabricated Access Suppliers\' and Manufacturers\' Association) - for safe use of mobile access towers (scaffold towers). - Ideal

Benefits

What\'s on offer

• Competitive salary: £50k-£60k + 15% bonus.
• Pension Scheme
• 20 days holiday plus 8 bank.
• Autonomy to manage your projects your way.
• A supportive team environment (no micromanaging).
• The chance to grow with a business that values its PMs.

Our team is evolving — and we\'re looking for someone who can bring fresh energy, collaboration, and a positive, problem-solving mindset
