Job description

Some jobs are just another project.

This isn't one of them.

We're working with a drylining contractor that's absolutely flying. They've established themselves as a serious player across the North and have secured multiple major projects, including one of the largest drylining packages outside of London.

We're looking for a Senior Project Manager to take the reins on that flagship project and become the right-hand man to the Director as the business continues its rapid growth.

The project itself carries a drylining package value well in excess of 15m and will put a genuinely career-defining scheme on your CV.

What's in it for you?

• Up to 80,000 package
• Day rate option available if preferred
• Top-tier car package (and we mean top-tier)
• 10% bonus scheme
• Clear progression into Regional Manager level and beyond
• The opportunity to work directly alongside a leader with a proven track record of developing and promoting people
• A chance to play a key role in one of the fastest-growing drylining businesses in the UK

The reality

The project is based in Cardiff, so you'll need to be comfortable staying away during the week for the first 12-18 months while it's delivered.

After that, the opportunity becomes much bigger than a single project.

This is about joining a business at exactly the right time, establishing yourself as a key figure, and growing alongside them as they continue their expansion.

If you're an experienced Drylining Project Manager looking for something with genuine long-term potential rather than just another site to run, we'd love to have a conversation.
