We are currently recruiting for a freelance Building Surveyor / Project Manager to support a major PFI school handback programme across approximately 20 sites in the Stoke area.
This is a site-focused delivery role, ideal for someone confident managing contractors and ensuring high-quality outcomes on the ground. You’ll act as the client-side lead, overseeing project progress without being involved in design or specification – these elements are handled by the local authority’s consultants.

Key Responsibilities:

• Day-to-day project management across multiple school sites
• Procure and coordinate contractors for refurbishment and compliance-based works
• Conduct regular site visits to monitor progress and quality of work
• Ensure works align with programme timelines and handback obligations
• Act as liaison between stakeholders, consultants, and contractors

Requirements:

• Experience delivering projects within the public sector, education, or PFI environments
• Strong background in site-based delivery and contractor management
• Ability to manage multiple schemes simultaneously
• Excellent communication and organisational skills
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, multi-site environment

This contract is outside IR35 and offers around 6–9 months of work, with potential to extend. It's a great opportunity to play a key role in a significant estates programme without the need for technical design or spec development.
