About the project

We are seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead a significant paving and earthwork package valued at £50m within a major infrastructure programme scheduled to complete in 2027. The wider project is valued at £180m and will continue to operate in a live environment until August. Following this period, there will be a concentrated three month window to deliver £80m worth of works. This will be the peak activity period, and your leadership will be essential to keep the package progressing smoothly and safely.

The role

As Project Manager, you will oversee the paving and earthwork package, managing specialist subcontractors and driving the programme with confidence. You will create accurate programmes, manage progress on site, and maintain excellent coordination with other active packages to ensure that all interfaces run smoothly.

About you

You will be a capable and hands on Project Manager, ideally with experience working for a Tier 2 contractor. You must have managed complex packages of similar value and scale.
