Senior Project Manager - RC Frame & Groundworks

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.

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 discreet.
