SwitchCo is seeking an experienced Construction Project Manager to join their team!

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced project delivery professional to take full ownership of construction and infrastructure projects from initiation through to practical completion. The role offers genuine autonomy, direct client exposure, and the chance to shape commercial and delivery outcomes while mentoring and developing a Project Coordinator. It's an ideal next step for someone who thrives on complexity, enjoys solving problems rather than escalating them, and wants to build a career with a company that values integrity, continuous improvement, and professional growth.

What you'll be doing?

- Owning project delivery: Take full accountability for scope, programme, budget, and quality outcomes across projects, ensuring every milestone is met without compromise.
- Leading change and variations: Manage a disciplined change control process, assessing and approving variations while protecting the organisation's contractual position.
- Driving programme momentum: Keep schedules current and accurate, proactively flagging risks and critical path issues before they escalate.
- Managing procurement and commercials: Lead RFQ/RFT processes, administer payment claims, oversee invoicing, and monitor project profitability to protect margins.
- Championing risk, quality and HSE: Maintain risk and defect registers, conduct site audits, and ensure all vendors meet HSE and prequalification requirements.
- Building strong client relationships: Act as the primary contact for clients and stakeholders, delivering honest, transparent reporting and proactive issue management.
- Leading and developing the team: Provide direction, quality oversight, and mentorship to the Project Coordinator,



helping them grow their skills and confidence.
- Protecting contractual position: Maintain a thorough understanding of contractual obligations and escalate legal, contractual, or insurance matters when needed.

Who are they looking for?

- Project management experience: A track record of delivering projects end-to-end within construction, infrastructure, or professional services, managing scope, programme, budget, and quality together.
- Commercial and contractual know-how: Solid understanding of project contracts including variations, extensions of time, and notices of delay, along with experience managing payment claims and forecasting.
- Risk and HSE capability: Confidence identifying and managing risks across multiple projects, along with a sound grasp of HSE requirements in a construction or delivery setting.
- Leadership skills: Experience guiding project teams, including remote or offshore members, and supporting a Project Coordinator's development.
- Strong communication: Clear, confident written and verbal communication, with the ability to adapt style across clients, contractors, consultants, and leadership.
- Software proficiency: Comfortable using Microsoft Office 365 (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook) and scheduling tools such as MS Project; familiarity with SharePoint, Procore, or Aconex is a plus.
- Bonus skills: Experience with Bluebeam, AutoCAD, or DocuSign is highly regarded, though not essential.
