Job description

Project Manager / Project Director

Reinforced Concrete/RC Frame & Groundwork Packages

£90,000 - £120,000 + Benefits (PAYE or Self-Employed)

About the Opportunity

• With projects secured, this business is looking to recruit two Senior Project Managers / Project Directors for schemes in London.
• Both of these projects include RC frames, groundwork, and basement works, and both are £25m+ packages.
• Whether you are working on a £10m package or a £50m+ package, the expectation remains the same; as the lead on your project, you will be expected to oversee everything from programme to budget.
• Client relationships should be developed, and it will be your responsibility to organise, plan and execute the works involved in multi-million-pound groundwork and RC frame packages.

About the Requirements

• Suitable candidates need to be degree-qualified in civil engineering or construction management and must be able to show a strong history from a site engineer level through to project management over the last 5-10+ years.
• It is crucial that candidates can show a strong amount of concrete frame construction background, having worked for rival concrete frame and groundwork subcontractors in the UK. Candidates from solely a main contract or development background cannot be considered.
• Regarding software, our client uses the usual Microsoft programmes, standard email functions and Asta Power Project for planning/programming works. Project Managers will be required to use all these tools.
• I need Senior Project Managers who have stable backgrounds, have delivered medium to large RC frames and are looking to work for one of the best.

About the Employer

This business is one of my top clients.

• Having worked with them for the past 10+ years, I have seen them develop in both size and capability.
• They now turn over above £120 million per annum, building concrete frame and groundwork packages ranging in value up to £50 million each for a variety of residential contractors and developers throughout London and the surrounding Home Counties. They have a very modern edge to the business while maintaining traditional roots.
• On a personal note, I believe this company is one of the best because of the environment they create for their people and because of the personalities of the superb senior management/directorship team. They go the extra mile to not only retain their staff but to truly keep them happy. Small things have been added to the office, like a gym that people have access to all day, with extra breaks given three times a week for anyone who wants to use it. They have a treatment room where massages and cosmetic treatments are available to everyone on Fridays free of charge. And they now even have a rooftop garden and BBQ area. I'd want to work here myself if I had the relevant experience!
• They really are a great company to work for to gain great project experience, to develop capability in modern construction techniques and to be part of the values they believe in.

About the Rewards

• For these positions, we have been given a rough bracket of £90,000 to £120,000 per annum as the salary, which will also include benefits and a structured bonus scheme on top.
• And we can consider individuals looking to be employed on a self‑employed basis, as well as PAYE. All offers are subject to experience.
• This business offers above-average packages to ensure their staff are happy with their income, and beyond this, to ensure they see this as a long-term move when joining the company. Stability of employment and maintaining a low staff turnover is important, in line with everything this business stands for.
