Built Alliance Recruitment Ltd

Built Alliance are delighted to be partnering with a globally established, sustainability-driven consultancy as they look to appoint an ambitious Project Manager to join their growing Leeds office, a genuine step-up opportunity for someone ready to take on more ownership. Working closely alongside hands-on Directors and senior leaders, you'll get real exposure to a broad, varied portfolio spanning healthcare, education and complex infrastructure, with healthcare remaining a core pillar of the workload. This is a role built for someone who has cut their teeth as an intermediate Project Manager and is ready to lead with more autonomy, supported by a team that genuinely invests in developing its people rather than just expecting them to sink or swim. Ideally, you will have already supported project delivery across all phases, from early RIBA stages through to completion, engaging with a broad mix of stakeholders including public and private clients, funders, and design teams. You'll look to build your confidence in cost control, procurement, and contract administration, with a working knowledge of JCT/NEC frameworks, while working closely with internal cost management teams to maintain commercial oversight. You'll also play an active role in driving sustainability, from Net Zero and embodied carbon through to wider ESG policy, alongside supporting stakeholder engagement, funding compliance and reporting. Backed by a 6,500-strong global network yet operating with the agility of a close-knit regional team, this consultancy has built its reputation on doing things properly, balancing commercial rigour with a people-first, sustainability-led approach. It's an environment where career progression isn't just talked about; it's actively supported, making it an ideal next move for someone looking to grow into a fuller PM role over time.

Director role to lead a new Manchester office for a growing multidisciplinary consultancy.

Director - Building Surveying / Quantity Surveying / Project Management / New Office Launch, Manchester A genuinely rare role to build something from the ground up, backed by a business that has already proven it knows how to grow. Our client is a multi-disciplinary consultancy with an already very impressive track record. 42% year-on-year growth, five offices across the South and Midlands and a reputation as one of the UK's fastest-growing and most highly regarded practices in the built environment. Having recently opened successful new offices, with majority turning over a £1m+ each within a short space of time, the business is now ready for its next chapter, a move into the North, starting with Manchester. They're looking for a Director to lead that charge. This isn't a role where you're handed a desk and a target. It's a genuine partnership in building a new office from scratch, with full backing and investment from the business behind you. You'll need a proven track record of winning work and delivering it, ideally with experience across building surveying, quantity surveying or project management and the credibility to open doors and build relationships across the region from day one. The business works extensively across industrial, education, healthcare, and local authority sectors and there's real appetite to bring that expertise into the Manchester market. You won't be starting entirely from nothing either, there are already some live opportunities in Leeds and Manchester that could give you an early foothold while you build the wider pipeline. What makes this stand out is how seriously the business invests in the people who help it grow. This is a role with genuine equity potential, EMI share schemes and ownership opportunities are on the table for the right person, alongside a bonus structure designed to reward the growth you create. This isn't just a job; it's a chance to build a business within a business and to be recognised properly for doing it. If you've got the ambition to lead a start-up office, the relationships to back it and the appetite to be part of a business at a genuinely pivotal moment in its history, this is definitely worth discussing.
