Job description

You are a Project Manager who enjoys being close to the job, not stuck behind a desk. You like seeing projects take shape on site and being the person who keeps everything moving in the right direction. You are organised, calm under pressure and you know how to manage people as well as programmes.

You are based within reach of Bury St Edmunds and you are happy splitting your time between site and office. You are looking for a role where the projects are varied and you are trusted to run them properly.

Your experience

You have experience as a Project Manager in construction, ideally within main contracting. You have worked on new build or extension schemes and you understand steel or metal frame construction.

You are comfortable managing projects in the £1m to £12m range and you know how to coordinate subcontractors, manage programmes and keep control of budgets.

You have likely worked on hotel, leisure or similar schemes, although that is not essential if your project experience is transferable.

What you will be doing with your experience

You will be delivering hotel projects focused on extensions, conversions and new build schemes. These are typically 80 to 100 bed developments, so they are meaningful projects with real responsibility.

You will spend most of your time on site, usually four days a week, with a day in the office to stay connected with the wider team.

When running a new build, you will focus on one project at a time. When delivering extensions or conversions, you may oversee two projects depending on size and complexity.

You will be the person keeping the job on track, managing subcontractors, driving programme and making sure quality is right.
