Senior Project Manager
Are you a construction project manager delivering for main contractors or specialist subcontractors, with the confidence to take ownership of installations valued at £1m and above?
Can you navigate JCT contracts, manage main contractor relationships and keep complex site programmes commercially on track?
A leading AV integrator is recruiting Senior Project Managers to deliver audio visual and collaboration systems within main contractor construction environments. This is a period of growth for the business, with new positions created to support a strong pipeline of large construction projects. Hands on construction project management experience within contractor environments is essential; an AV background is an advantage, not a prerequisite.
The Role
Take full ownership of AV integration projects typically valued at £1m and above, delivered as a subcontractor to general contractors. Manage delivery from contract award to handover, acting as the main contact for the main contractor and end client while controlling programme, quality, risk and commercial performance.
Own the project P&L, forecasting, cost control and billing cycles in line with the contract.
Manage JCT documentation, variations, valuations and change control, maintaining clear project baselines.
Review CAD drawings, schematics and technical deliverables; lead client and internal meetings; and keep work moving through confident decisions on site.
Prepare RAMS and uphold main contractor safety standards, delivering on time and within budget while building lasting client relationships.
You will also support and guide other project managers on complex projects, without line management responsibility.
What We Are Looking For
You will bring a strong track record of project management in commercial construction, with a focus on delivery for main contractors or specialist subcontractors, ideally across AV, ELV, security, M&E or data infrastructure.
You must be comfortable managing JCT contracts, commercial discussions, variations and valuations, writing RAMS, and reviewing CAD drawings and schematics. This suits an organised, site facing operator who needs minimal supervision, makes sound decisions and knows when escalation is necessary. You must be happy to travel regularly.
