Role: Project Manager Location: Manchester with travel as required (we offer Hybrid working) Full Time or Part Time: Full Time Directorate: CMC Salary: Competitive Company Overview: Ardent is the UK’s leading provider of land, consent management and stakeholder engagement services to support major infrastructure and regeneration projects from concept to delivery. We are Project Managers, Chartered Surveyors, Engagement specialists and Land Referencers, based in London, Birmingham, Warrington, Leeds, Glasgow and Dublin and supporting projects throughout the UK and Ireland. Established in 1992, we are a high-growth business, that has doubled in size to c. 200 people during the past 3 years, and our client portfolio includes some of the biggest players across our four core sectors of transport, renewables, utilities and regeneration. We are passionate about delivering life-improving change for communities and future generations and we are proud to play a key role in facilitating and delivering the UK and Ireland’s net zero agenda, improving connectivity, enabling the repurposing of high streets and town centres and delivering new homes for the people who need them most. We are problem-solvers, can-doers and solution-drivers working collaboratively with our clients to provide proactive and strategic advice to identify and mitigate risks, deliver efficiencies and, ultimately, achieve deliverable consents and build projects that positively impact people’s lives and the world that we live in. Consents Management Consultancy Overview: Ardent Management's Consent Management Consultancy (CMC) Directorate supports clients through all stages of project consenting. CMC advises on the promotion of consents and manages delivery to achieve project-focused goals. These objectives include clearly scoped, programmed, and proactively managed deliverables and actions, ensuring integrated delivery. One often underestimated aspect is the transition between consent and delivery. CMC manages this transition, maintaining focus on cost surety and risk mitigation. As infrastructure project specialists, we are experienced in various consenting regimes, their development, submission management, and subsequent construction delivery. This is enhanced by a 'one team' culture where all delivery partners and key stakeholders are briefed, prepared, and engaged proportionally from consents applications to start on site. Despite a common goal, teams often have differing priorities, management approaches, and vocabularies, making cross-discipline working challenging. Our specialists integrate these disparate functions into a holistic delivery team, finding common solutions that satisfy both office and site-based teams. This approach is achieved through relationship and RACI management, 'ways of working' expectations, and efficient communication. CMC embodies delivery with established Project Management skills, proactively managing legal, land, engagement, design, programme, H&S, and identifying risks/opportunities to ensure smooth delivery and drive efficiencies. Throughout the development and consenting phases, we ensure projects are correctly defined, KPI monitored, strategic decisions managed, and mitigation/obligations undertaken.
