About the Role

A leading construction consultancy is seeking a Senior Project Manager or Associate Director to join its growing Nottingham-based Project Management team. This firm delivers innovative project and cost management solutions across commercial, residential, healthcare, education, infrastructure, and logistics sectors.

With a strong reputation for excellence, this is an opportunity to lead high-profile projects, manage a talented team, and contribute to the strategic direction of a growing business.

Who does it fit ?

If you’re a Senior Project Manager in a consultancy, you’re likely already handling many aspects of this role—but are you getting the progression you deserve?

This consultancy is looking for a Senior PM with the hunger to step up and earn the Associate Director title. If you’re ambitious but feel like you’re hitting a ceiling where you are, they will work with you to develop the skills and experience needed to transition into the next level.

For those already at AD level, this is an opportunity to step into a ready-made leadership role within an established, high-performing team. It’s also a first step onto the Director ladder, with a clear pathway to Board Director status within the firm.

I’ve worked with this client for over a decade and can give you the full insight into culture, career progression, and project pipeline. If I don’t have the answer, I’ll find it for you!

The Role

As a Senior Project Manager or Associate Director, you will take ownership of key projects, ensuring delivery on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards. You will also be responsible for leading a team of Project Managers and Assistant PMs, providing mentorship and technical oversight while developing strong client relationships.

Key Responsibilities:

• Project Leadership – Manage the full project lifecycle, ensuring smooth execution and client satisfaction.
• Team Management & Mentoring – Lead, support, and develop a team of Project Managers and Assistant Project Managers.
• Stakeholder Engagement – Work closely with clients, contractors, and multi-disciplinary teams to drive successful project outcomes.
• Strategic Business Development – Support client relationship management and identify opportunities for growth.
• Risk & Compliance Management – Ensure adherence to industry regulations, governance standards, and best practices.
• Financial & Commercial Oversight – Manage project budgets, cost control, and value engineering.
• Contract Administration – Work with JCT, NEC, and bespoke contracts, ensuring legal and financial compliance.
• Process & Performance Improvement – Implement best practices to enhance efficiency and project success.

What We’re Looking For

• Degree in Project Management, Construction, or related discipline (RICS, CIOB, or APM accreditation preferred).
• Strong consultancy-based Project Management experience, with a track record in multiple sectors.
• Leadership and team management skills, with experience mentoring and developing junior staff.
• Expertise in JCT and NEC contract administration.
• Proven commercial awareness and client relationship management skills.
• Ability to manage multiple complex projects simultaneously.
• Proficiency in project management software such as MS Project, Primavera, or Asta Powerproject.
• Excellent communication and negotiation skills.

Why Join?

• Career Progression – Opportunity to advance towards Director level in a growing consultancy.
• High-Profile Projects – Work on major developments across the UK.
• Collaborative & Supportive Team – A dynamic and ambitious professional environment.
• Competitive Salary & Benefits – Including bonus scheme, pension, private healthcare, and professional development support.
• Flexible Working – A modern approach to work-life balance.
• Highly supportive and helpful board of directors
