Job description

Job Summary

There's a particular kind of opportunity that comes along when a business is genuinely still building itself, rather than one that's already settled into its shape.

This is one of those. A specialist construction and development consultancy, known for bespoke, non-off-the-shelf project delivery across education, residential, commercial, healthcare and blue light sectors, is looking for a Senior Project Manager to join its Birmingham team as it continues to grow at pace.

The Birmingham office currently sits at eight people, and the plan is to keep building it deliberately rather than just filling headcount. That means whoever joins now won't be one of many faces in an already-formed team; they'll genuinely shape how the office operates, who else comes in around them, and what the next couple of years look like.

If you've ever wanted to get in early somewhere and grow with it, rather than slot into someone else's established structure, this is that kind of moment.The work itself spans a genuinely varied project book, from major masterplans and regeneration schemes through to healthcare, education and commercial developments, so there's real breadth on offer rather than being pigeonholed into one sector.

The business works in a hand-picked, multi-disciplinary way, pulling together project, cost, development and sustainability specialists around each scheme, so you'd be operating alongside people who know their subject inside out rather than carrying projects solo.Culturally, it's a business that takes real pride in how it looks after its people, not just what they deliver for clients.

From what I've seen of how they operate, it's a genuinely collaborative, down-to-earth outfit that backs its team and invests properly in where people are going, not just this quarter's numbers. Hybrid working is standard rather than a perk you have to fight for.If you're a Project Manager who wants more ownership, more variety, and the chance to help build something rather than maintain it, I'd very much welcome a conversation. Even if you're not actively looking, if the idea of getting in early on a fast-growing consultancy interests you, it's worth a chat.
