We're working with a well-established and growing main contractor with an excellent reputation for delivering high-quality projects across Scotland. Due to a strong pipeline of secured work, they're looking to appoint a Project Manager to join their team.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who has already gained experience delivering construction projects and is looking for greater responsibility, autonomy, and career progression within a supportive business.

Responsibilities

  • Manage construction projects from inception to handover.
  • Lead and coordinate site teams and subcontractors.
  • Develop and monitor project programmes.
  • Ensure projects are delivered safely and in line with company procedures.
  • Build strong relationships with clients and stakeholders.
  • Monitor project costs and support commercial performance.
  • Identify and manage project risks.
  • Maintain high standards of quality throughout delivery.

What We're Looking For

  • Experience working for a main contractor in a Site Manager, Project Manager or similar delivery role.
  • Proven experience managing construction projects or leading packages on larger schemes.
  • Strong organisational and communication skills.
  • Commercial awareness and problem-solving ability.
  • SMSTS, CSCS and First Aid certification.
  • A positive attitude and ambition to develop your career.
  • Experience in the defense sector is advantageous.

What's on Offer

  • Competitive salary.
  • Car allowance.
  • Pension and additional benefits.
  • Structured career development and mentoring.
  • Secure pipeline of projects across Scotland.
  • Supportive and collaborative working environment.
  • Opportunity to progress your career with a highly respected contractor.

If you're looking for an opportunity to build on your existing experience and take ownership of exciting construction projects with a business that genuinely invests in its people, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply today or get in touch for a confidential discussion.
