Job description

Senior / Associate Project Manager - Industrial & Data Centre Projects

£65,000-£75,000 + great benefits

Site-based role with a leading construction consultancy

I’m working with a well-established consultancy that’s looking to bring a Senior or Associate Project Manager onto one of their flagship industrial and data centre projects. It’s a site‑based role, so if you enjoy being close to the action and seeing a project come to life day‑to‑day, this will suit you well.

The team is busy, growing, and genuinely respected in the market. They’re winning a lot of interesting work in the industrial/logistics and data centre space, and this hire is a key part of that continued growth.

What you’ll be doing

• Taking the lead on major industrial and data centre schemes
• Acting as the main point of contact for the client while working closely with the site team
• Coordinating design teams, contractors, and stakeholders to keep everything moving smoothly
• Ensuring quality, programme and budget stay on track
• Playing a role in the wider team’s development and helping strengthen client relationships

What they’re looking for

• Strong project management experience in construction, ideally on industrial, logistics or mission‑critical projects
• Confidence in a client‑facing environment and ability to take the lead when needed
• Good understanding of project delivery from early stages through to completion
• RICS chartered (or working towards it) would be great, but it’s absolutely not essential
• Enjoyment of being hands‑on and present on site

What’s on offer

• Salary between £65k and £75k depending on experience
• The chance to take real ownership of a major live project
• A supportive consultancy environment with genuine progression opportunities
• Exposure to fast‑growing sectors with high‑profile clients

If you’re a Project Manager ready for that next step – or already operating at Senior/Associate level and want to work on something substantial – I’d love to tell you more.
