Job description

Project Manager Construction

I am currently working with a highly respected main contractor who has a long-standing reputation for delivering high-quality projects across Scotland. They are known for doing things properly, strong planning, good people, and a genuine focus on long-term delivery rather than quick wins. Due to continued growth, they are looking to appoint an experienced Project Manager to take full ownership of projects from pre‑construction through to handover. This is a role for someone who enjoys being properly involved with leading teams, building strong client relationships, and making sure projects are delivered safely, on programme, and to a high standard.

The role:

• Full responsibility for the successful delivery of construction projects
• Managing site teams, subcontractors, and supply chain partners
• Overseeing programme, cost control, quality, and health & safety
• Working closely with commercial teams to manage budgets and variations
• Acting as the main point of contact for clients and consultants
• Driving a positive site culture and mentoring junior team members

What they are looking for:

• Proven experience as a Project Manager with a main contractor
• Background delivering building projects (public or private sector)
• Strong leadership and communication skills
• Comfortable managing multiple stakeholders and making informed decisions
• SMSTS, CSCS and relevant construction qualifications
• Someone who takes pride in how projects are delivered, not just the end result

Why this opportunity stands out:

• Join a contractor with a strong pipeline of secured work
• Well‑structured teams and realistic programmes
• A business that invests in its people and promotes from within
• Supportive senior management and a collaborative working environment
• Competitive salary and benefits package

If you are a Project Manager looking for a role where you will be trusted to run your projects properly, and where your experience will genuinely be valued, apply today!
