Job description

Carriera is proud to be partnering with a well-established and growing construction consultancy to recruit a Project Manager for its South West team.

With an enviable portfolio of projects across the commercial, residential and healthcare sectors, this is an opportunity to join a business delivering schemes that genuinely shape communities and improve the built environment.

Working closely with a diverse range of public and private sector clients, you'll take ownership of projects from initial feasibility through to completion, managing multidisciplinary teams, driving successful outcomes, and building trusted client relationships along the way.

This role offers far more than traditional project delivery. You'll gain exposure to a broad range of sectors, work directly with key decision-makers and benefit from a clear progression route within a consultancy that continues to invest in its people and growth.

The Opportunity

As Project Manager, you'll play a central role in delivering a varied portfolio of construction projects across the South West.

Projects include commercial developments, residential schemes, healthcare environments and wider public sector projects, providing excellent exposure to different clients, project challenges and delivery methods.

You'll be entrusted with significant responsibility, working alongside experienced Directors and senior consultants whilst managing your own projects and developing your long-term career within the business.

Your Role

• Lead projects from inception through to completion and handover.
• Act as a key advisor to clients, providing strategic project and construction management support.
• Manage project programmes, budgets, procurement strategies and delivery plans.
• Coordinate multidisciplinary consultant teams and contractor activities.
• Drive project performance across cost, quality, risk and programme objectives.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, stakeholders and project teams.
• Chair meetings and provide clear project reporting throughout all project stages.
• Identify and manage project risks, opportunities and change control processes.
• Support procurement exercises, contractor appointments and contract administration activities.
• Contribute to client development initiatives and identify opportunities for repeat business.

About You

• Experience working within construction project management, either consultancy-side or client-side.
• Proven experience delivering projects within the built environment sector.
• Exposure to commercial, residential, healthcare or public sector developments would be advantageous.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills.
• Comfortable managing multiple projects simultaneously.
• Commercially aware with a proactive and solutions-focused mindset.
• Degree qualified in a construction-related discipline.
• MRICS, MAPM, MCIOB or working towards professional chartership would be beneficial.

What's on Offer

• £40,000 - £50,000 salary depending on experience.
• Competitive benefits package.
• Hybrid and flexible working.
• Structured career progression and promotion opportunities.
• Professional development and chartership support.
• Exposure to diverse and high-quality projects across multiple sectors.
• Direct access to clients and senior leadership teams.
• Supportive and collaborative team culture.
• Opportunity to develop into a Senior Project Manager role as the business continues to grow.

Why Join?

This consultancy has established itself as a trusted advisor across the South West, delivering complex and rewarding projects for an impressive range of clients.

The team has built a strong reputation through repeat business, long-standing client relationships and a commitment to delivering high-quality outcomes. With a secured pipeline of work and ambitious growth plans, there has never been a better time to join.

Whether you're already working within a consultancy or looking to move from a contractor or client-side environment, this position offers the chance to broaden your project exposure, increase your responsibility and accelerate your career within a respected and supportive business.
