We are currently looking for a Project Manager to join a long-term Network Rail fencing contract, covering the Western region from Weston-super-Mare to Penzance.

• Manage client and stakeholder relationships

• Project Management or Senior Construction Management experience
• Experience within minor civils infrastructure within rail would be beneficial
• Strong organisational and multitasking skills
• Ability to manage multiple projects and teams simultaneously
• Good client and stakeholder management skills
