Senior Project Manager
A rare and career-defining opportunity has arisen for an experienced Senior Project Manager to play a leading role on one of the most significant public sector programmes currently underway - a £110 million+ Blue Light masterplan.
This flagship programme comprises twelve buildings delivered within a coordinated, campus-style redevelopment, including a mix of new builds, refurbishments and modernisation schemes. The scale, technical complexity and community impact of this multi-phase framework make it an exceptional opportunity for an ambitious Senior PM looking to step up to larger, more complex programmes.
You’ll be joining a respected, forward-thinking multidisciplinary consultancy known for its collaborative culture, innovative delivery methods and strong public-sector reputation. This role offers excellent development potential, with clear pathways toward Associate Director.

Gain exposure to complex, multi-stakeholder and politically sensitive environments
