Job description

Are you an experienced Project Manager who enjoys managing multiple projects and keeping everything running smoothly?

Do you have experience coordinating subcontractors, programmes and site activities across construction, landscaping or infrastructure projects?

Salary: £40,000 to £50,000+ depending on experience
Location: Midlands preferred (Birmingham, Coventry, Kenilworth or surrounding areas)
Working Arrangement: Predominantly remote, with site visits as required
Contract Type: Permanent
I am recruiting for a Project Manager to join my client, an established environmental contracting business delivering landscaping and habitat creation works across the HS2 programme.

This is an opportunity to take ownership of two significant work packages, managing activities across more than 60 sites, with responsibility for planning, programming, subcontractor coordination, client communication and overall project delivery.

My client is looking for someone organised, proactive and commercially aware who can manage changing priorities, anticipate problems and keep projects moving.

Essential Requirements

• 5 years of experience as a Project Manager within construction, infrastructure, landscaping, ecological contracting or a related sector.
• Strong organisational and programme management skills, with the ability to coordinate multiple sites, teams and competing priorities.
• Experience managing subcontractors, site teams, plant and resources to ensure safe and efficient project delivery.
• Confidence managing project trackers, spreadsheets, programmes, reporting and project documentation.
• Strong commercial awareness, with experience managing budgets, controlling costs and maintaining project profitability.
• Experience preparing and reviewing site-specific RAMS, ensuring works are delivered safely and in accordance with project requirements.
• Excellent communication skills, with experience managing client relationships and coordinating contractors, suppliers and internal stakeholders.
• A proactive, adaptable approach to problem-solving, particularly when programmes, site access arrangements or priorities change.
• Ability to work independently, identify risks early and take ownership of project delivery.
• Full UK driving licence.

Desirable Experience

• Previous involvement in HS2 or another major infrastructure programme.
• Experience in landscaping, habitat creation, ecological restoration, conservation or land management.
• Understanding of site permits, access arrangements and working within large construction environments.
• Experience line managing, mentoring or developing junior team members.
• Experience preparing quotations, tenders and commercial documentation, alongside identifying opportunities for additional work or repeat business.
• Experience managing quality assurance inspections, project handovers and client reporting.
• Relevant qualifications such as SMSTS, SSSTS, CSCS or project management accreditation.
• Previous experience towing trailers or managing specialist site vehicles.

A landscaping or ecological background would be advantageous, but it is not essential. I am equally interested in speaking with Project Managers from construction and infrastructure backgrounds who have strong organisational skills and experience coordinating complex work programmes.

Interested?

This is an excellent opportunity for a Project Manager who enjoys taking ownership, solving problems and managing varied workstreams across a major infrastructure programme.

My client is looking to appoint as soon as possible, with interviews available at short notice.

If you have experience coordinating complex projects and would like to hear more, please get in touch.
