As part of the Council's drive to improve services and facilities across the City, we are looking to recruit a dynamic, client-focused, and personable Project Manager to cover a period of maternity leave and to join our in-house team managing and delivering property building projects for the Council.

You will be part of a growing team within the in-house project management and multi-discipline design service for the Council. You will be responsible for managing the delivery of high-quality buildings as well as overseeing the delivery by external consulting teams.

You should have a BSc or equivalent degree qualification in Construction Project Management or a similar construction-related qualification and hold a full membership of a related professional body such as APM, CIOB, RICS, or similar.

You should also have experience in construction project management of projects of varying size and complexity up to a value of £15m, as well as a proven record and ability to work as part of a professional project delivery team. The role involves all aspects of client-facing project management and responsibility for the delivery of multiple capital projects or programmes, either directly led or through management of external teams. You should have proficient experience and working knowledge in MS Office and MS Project. An understanding of Passive Haus / EnerPHit design would be an advantage. Good communication skills, both written and verbal, and strong analytical skills in numeracy are required. You should present well, reflect a positive attitude, and outlook towards the Council.

We are committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included, and able to perform at their best. We recognize the benefits that a diverse workforce with different values, beliefs, experience, and backgrounds brings to us as an organization.

As part of our goal to improve our organizational culture and create a great place to work for the people of Edinburgh, we aim to bring in the best candidates, not only in skills and experience but also in their approach to work.

We are transitioning from a competency-based interview approach to a behavioral and technical (skills for the job) based approach. This new method will help us assess how you think and how you embody Our Behaviours of Respect, Integrity, and Flexibility in your work.

More information can be found on Our Behaviours web page: Our Behaviours - The City of Edinburgh Council

Our salary range typically reflects the initial starting salary, with annual increases until it reaches the top of the range.

We are happy to discuss flexible working options.
