We’re supporting a growing, regeneration-focused construction consultancy in Manchester as they look to make another key appointment within their Project Management team. Rather than recruiting to a rigid job title, the business is focused on finding the right person. That could be an Assistant Project Manager ready for more responsibility, or an established Project Manager looking for greater autonomy and the opportunity to have more influence within a growing consultancy. This is a relatively young business, but one with an established team, live projects and clear plans for sustainable growth. They have invested in modern systems and technology, operate a genuinely flexible working model and are building the consultancy deliberately around the type of culture they want to create. For someone joining now, there is an opportunity to become an important part of that growth rather than joining a large, established structure where progression and responsibilities are already defined. Why This Opportunity? The attraction of this role goes beyond the individual projects. You’ll be joining a consultancy at a stage where it is established enough to offer quality work, experienced people and a strong pipeline, but still early enough in its growth for individuals to have genuine visibility and influence. The position can also be shaped around your experience. At Assistant Project Manager level, you’ll work closely with experienced senior professionals while being encouraged to take increasing ownership of projects, clients and delivery. At Project Manager level, there is scope to operate more autonomously, lead commissions and client relationships and contribute more broadly to how the business develops. Either way, the intention is to give you room to progress as the consultancy grows. The Role You’ll work across a varied portfolio of construction, development and regeneration projects, supporting or leading commissions from initial feasibility and strategy through design, procurement, construction and completion. Depending on your level of experience, responsibilities will include: Supporting or leading projects across RIBA Stages 1-6, managing individual commissions or defined workstreams within larger programmes Establishing project scopes, programmes, deliverables and key milestones Coordinating clients, design teams, consultants, contractors and other stakeholders Preparing project programmes, reports and management information, monitoring cost, programme, risk, quality and overall performance Managing project risk, change control and established client governance and gateway processes Supporting procurement, tendering and contract administration across forms including JCT and NEC Leading or contributing to client and project meetings while maintaining strong day-to-day client relationships Maintaining project documentation, internal systems and KPIs Supporting compliance with CDM 2015 and construction Health & Safety requirements Contributing to lessons-learned reviews and continuous improvement As your experience develops, you’ll be encouraged to take greater ownership rather than remaining in a supporting role indefinitely. About You There isn’t one fixed profile for this appointment. You could be an Assistant Project Manager with around 2-3 yearspost-graduate experience who feels ready to step up, or an established Project Manager looking for a consultancy where you can have greater responsibility and visibility. What is more important is that you are ambitious, commercially aware and comfortable working as part of a client-facing consultancy team. Ideally, you’ll bring: A relevant degree in Project Management, Construction Management, Quantity Surveying, Building Surveying or another construction/property-related discipline Consultancy experience, or experience that translates well into a consultancy environment Exposure to projects across multiple stages of the project lifecycle and a good understanding of the RIBA Plan of Work Experience coordinating multidisciplinary project teams Good programme, risk and project reporting skills Strong communication and stakeholder management skills An understanding of procurement and construction contracts Progress towards APM, RICS, CIOB or another relevant professional accreditation would be beneficial Most importantly, they’re looking for someone who wants to develop with the business, take increasing responsibility and build a longer-term career, rather than simply move into the same role somewhere else. The Business The consultancy was established with the intention of creating a more modern and agile approach to construction consultancy. Its focus is particularly strong around regeneration and development, working collaboratively with clients and wider professional teams to deliver projects from early strategy through to completion. The business combines experienced senior leadership with modern systems, technology and a flexible approach to working. As the team continues to expand, there is also an opportunity for people joining now to contribute to the culture, processes and future direction of the consultancy. It’s a collaborative environment without unnecessary layers of management, giving people good access to senior colleagues and the opportunity to learn directly from experienced professionals. Progression One of the biggest advantages of joining at this stage is that your progression doesn't need to follow a predetermined structure. An Assistant Project Manager joining now can develop towards Project Manager, taking on increasingly independent commissions and client responsibility. For someone already operating at Project Manager level, the opportunity is to build towards more senior responsibility as the team and project portfolio continue to expand. Professional development and training are actively supported, including progression towards relevant chartership. Benefits Competitive salary aligned to experience and level Flexible and hybrid working Pension scheme and private health insurance Annual bonus opportunity and salary review Professional development, training and support towards relevant accreditation Wellbeing and social initiatives Direct access to experienced senior professionals Opportunity to grow alongside an expanding consultancy with increasing project and client responsibility This is a particularly good opportunity for someone who likes the idea of joining a growing Manchester consultancy while there is still genuine scope to make an impact. Rather than being recruited into a narrowly defined position, you’ll be joining a business that can recognise where you are now, give you the appropriate level of support and responsibility, and create room for your role to develop as both you and the consultancy grow

The commercial side of the role is important. They’re looking for someone with an established network across Manchester and the North West who can bring client relationships and new opportunities into the business. There is already an established consultancy behind the appointment, so this isn’t about starting from scratch. The incoming Director will have the backing of the wider business while having considerable influence over the clients, team and direction of the Manchester office. The Business The company is an independent construction consultancy working with developers, investors, private clients and organisations across the UK property and construction market. Its portfolio includes: Residential & mixed-use High-end residential Commercial Education Healthcare Industrial & logistics The business has developed a strong base of repeat and referred clients, with an emphasis on senior involvement, technical quality and long-term relationships. The Manchester office forms part of the consultancy’s wider plans for growth and will provide a base from which to develop its existing Project Management capability and client relationships across the North West. The Role As Director of Project Management, you’ll lead the Manchester office while taking responsibility for developing the Project Management service locally. The role combines client development, team leadership and project delivery. Initially, there will be a strong focus on developing the client base and pipeline, alongside overseeing key commissions and establishing the structure of the Manchester team. Your remit will include: Establishing and leading the Manchester city-centre office Developing the Project Management service across the North West Bringing established client relationships and new opportunities into the business Developing those relationships into new commissions and repeat work Building a sustainable pipeline of Project Management projects Providing senior oversight across key commissions Recruiting and developing a Manchester-based Project Management team Setting appropriate PM processes, governance and reporting Identifying target clients and sectors Taking responsibility for fees, pipeline, revenue and commercial performance Working closely with the wider leadership team on the development of the Manchester business As the office develops, the emphasis will increasingly move towards leading the team, maintaining key client relationships and taking wider responsibility for the performance of the Manchester operation. About You This is likely to suit an established Director or commercially strong Associate Director from a construction or property consultancy who already has a strong position within the Manchester and North West market. An established client network is an important part of the brief. They are looking for someone who can bring relationships into the business and has a track record of developing those relationships into consultancy work. You’ll ideally bring: Strong consultancy-side Project Management experience An established network of clients and contacts across Manchester and the North West A track record of winning and generating consultancy work Relationships with developers, investors, occupiers and/or other property clients Experience developing and managing a pipeline of opportunities Strong commercial understanding of consultancy fees, revenue and profitability Experience leading complex construction projects and multidisciplinary teams Experience recruiting, mentoring and developing teams The credibility to represent and develop a consultancy within the Manchester market Chartered status or recognised professional accreditation such as MRICS, MAPM or equivalent A commercially minded and accountable approach Previous experience opening an office or establishing a new service would be useful, but isn’t essential. The priority is someone with the client relationships, market knowledge and commercial experience to develop the Manchester operation successfully. The Opportunity The role would suit someone who has built a strong position within the Manchester market and is now looking for more control over how they develop their client base and team. There is an established business, existing Project Management work and investment behind the new office. The incoming Director will be responsible for developing that presence locally - bringing relationships into the business, securing new work and gradually building a team around the pipeline. Rather than joining an established regional office with an existing structure, there is scope to influence how the Manchester operation develops from the outset. As the office grows, the intention is for the Director to take increasing responsibility for its commercial performance and wider direction. An established consultancy, a new Manchester office and the scope to build around your own network.

Vacancy No 5606 Job Title BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MANAGER Location: NATIONAL UK PLEASE NOTE: This is a home/field-based, national sales position with regular travel across the UK. The role has nationwide scope, although the initial geographical emphasis is expected to be across Greater Manchester, Yorkshire and North Wales, with travel into Scotland and other parts of England as required. Candidates should therefore be comfortable operating autonomously across a broad geography and travelling flexibly in line with customer, project and partner activity. JOB DESCRIPTION Are you a commercially driven HVAC or building services sales professional with genuine specification credibility, a strong new business mentality and the ability to open doors, build strategic relationships and convert technically led opportunities into sustainable commercial growth? We are partnered with an innovative UK cleantech business specialising in smart hot water cylinders and connected hot water systems designed to reduce energy consumption, support decarbonisation and improve the performance of homes and buildings. My client is looking to appoint an experienced Business Development Manager to strengthen its specification led commercial position across new build housing, social housing, commercial property and wider energy and building services markets.

Experience managing long cycle opportunities from initial engagement through proposal, specification, negotiation and commercial conversion.

The role offers access to technical and product learning around smart hot water, low carbon heating pathways, connected assets and demand side flexibility, alongside regular coaching, pipeline reviews and development planning. THE PERSON This opportunity will suit an experienced and proactive sales professional who enjoys creating opportunities rather than simply managing what already exists.

You will have the confidence to operate independently across a national remit, the discipline to build and maintain a structured pipeline and the resilience required to win new business in a growth stage market.
