The successful candidate will lead multidisciplinary consultant teams, maintain strong client relationships, and ensure projects are delivered to the highest standards of quality, budget, and programme.

At Senior level, the role will also involve contributing to business and client development, representing the company at industry events, and helping to strengthen the firm’s profile within the Retail sector across the region. You will also play a key part in mentoring junior team members and driving best practice across project delivery.

THE CANDIDATE

• Hold a relevant degree and be Chartered (MRICS, MAPM, or equivalent)
• Have experience working as a Project Manager at Senior level within a Consultancy environment
• Demonstrate proven experience delivering Retail or Commercial Fit‑Out / Refurbishment projects
• Be confident managing complex projects through all stages, from feasibility to completion
• Possess excellent leadership, communication, and client‑facing skills
• Be proactive, strategic, and capable of managing multiple stakeholders and priorities

WHY YOU SHOULD APPLY

• Opportunity to lead some of Manchester’s most high‑profile Retail projects
• Excellent market reputation as a leading employer in the built environment sector
• Exposure to blue‑chip retail clients and flagship developments
• Clear career progression opportunities to Associate level and beyond
• Supportive and collaborative company culture with experienced leadership and mentoring
