Project Manager / Project Director

RC Frame & Groundwork Packages - London Projects

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

About the Employer:

With offices just outside London as well as in Central London, this specialist contractor completes a variety of packages for top tier developers, main contractors and private clients both in and around London. With one of their division having early involvement at the enabling works stages carrying out remediation and demolition works, this business is then able to take projects through groundwork, basement, and foundations stages through to the construction of reinforced concrete frames and structures. Project values vary but average current package sizes range from £10m to £50m each, on a mixture of residential, mixed-use, industrial, infrastructure, and energy projects.

On a personal note I would add that I work very closely with this business not only because of their size and capability but also because of their vision, goals, and attitude towards the way they work. The owners and directors are all focused on not only being an option in the market, but on being the best specialist contractor in the UK. I have already seen them go from strength to strength over the past few years and now I am genuinely excited about the continued expansion of this brand and the journey that their staff are on. This is a business I would hold up against any other in this market, and that’s based on feedback from people I have placed there and known for decades.

About the Opportunity:

With new projects being secured, this business is looking to recruit a number of experienced Project Managers, Senior Project Managers, and Project Directors for the schemes they have starting in Q4 of this year and Q1 of next.

Locations include:

* Poplar,

* White City

* Paddington

* Walsall

* Reading

* And others.

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, through to budget. Client relationships should be developed and it will be your responsibility to organize, plan and execute the works involved on 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 Project Managers who have stable backgrounds, have delivered medium to large RC frames and are looking to work for the best of the best.

About the Rewards:

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.

For this position 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 (including limited companies), as well as PAYE. All offers are subject to experience.

How to Apply:

I am more than happy to discuss this opportunity with people over the phone or face to face in a fully confidential manner. This is an incestuous sector and I fully understand the importance of keeping things discrete.

Alternatively, it would be ideal to see a copy of your CV to understand your previous experience and employment. In line with GDPR, nothing will be done with your CV / details until we have discussed the role in detail anyway, but having gained an understanding of your formal past, this may help when we come to talk and discuss the option.

About Me, Your Consultant:

My name is Andrew Jackson and I am one of the founding directors of Cityscape Recruitment Ltd. I have over 19 years of experience in civil engineering & construction recruitment, during which time, I have specialised in the niche sectors of concrete frames, groundworks, basement construction, and demolition.

So, what does that mean for you? It means you won’t be trusting your career to someone who doesn’t understand the market. I work with the vast majority of the groundwork & concrete frame businesses in the UK and I can help not only introduce you but can give you up-to-date information on each of them, helping you make an informed decision so you can take your career forward. I’ve been doing this for a fair while now and I’ve maintained a positive reputation doing what I do because I don’t tell people whatever it takes, I tell them the truth. My job is to get you the options you want, give you the information you need, and then to let you decide what feels right
