Job Description

Project Manager

Manchester

Up to 90,000 + Car Allowance + Pension + Private Healthcare

Leading privately-owned main contractor


An outstanding Project Manager opportunity has opened up with a privately-owned main contractor who has built a strong reputation across the North West for delivering complex, high-profile schemes on time, on budget, and to a high standard. With a packed pipeline of major projects in Manchester - several now at advanced stages - and a growing commercial, residential, and mixed-use portfolio, this is a role where your input will directly shape landmark builds across the region.


As Project Manager, you will take full responsibility for schemes through both pre-construction (PCSA) and delivery phases. You will work alongside design teams, consultants, and supply chain partners to shape buildability, de-risk programmes, and drive quality from tender through to handover. The employer invests heavily in its people, promotes from within, and offers a progression pathway that leads to Senior Project Manager, Project Director, and beyond.


What you will be doing as Project Manager:

  • Leading projects through PCSA and construction stages, overseeing design coordination, procurement, and value engineering before site mobilisation
  • Managing programme, cost, quality, health and safety, and client relationships end-to-end
  • Running site-based teams, subcontractors, and consultants, setting clear expectations and holding standards high
  • Acting as the lead point of contact for the client, design team, and wider project stakeholders
  • Driving commercial performance alongside the QS function, protecting margin and programme
  • Championing a safe, collaborative, and high-performing culture on every scheme you manage


What is in it for you as Project Manager:

  • A basic salary of up to 90,000
  • Generous car allowance, employer pension contribution, and private healthcare
  • A pipeline of live and upcoming Manchester schemes in PBSA, commercial, and mixed-use
  • Exposure to PCSA work where you can influence design, buildability, and commercial outcomes from day one
  • A privately-owned business with long-term stability, strong order books, and a reputation for looking after good people
  • Clear progression towards Senior Project Manager level with genuine investment in training and development


You will already be an experienced Project Manager with a main-contracting background, a solid grounding in building construction, and the commercial acumen to run schemes in the 40m+ bracket.
