My client offers an exciting opportunity to be part of a collaborative team delivering a once-in-a-generation infrastructure programme within a globally recognised research environment. This is a rare chance to contribute to a major capital development that will directly support world-changing scientific discovery. If you're looking to apply your construction expertise in a purpose-driven, client-side role, this could be the next step you’ve been waiting for.
 
As Construction Project Manager, you’ll work closely within a multidisciplinary team delivering large-scale infrastructure projects as part of the Next Generation Infrastructure (NGI) programme. This is a high-profile, long-term development initiative involving physical construction projects, soft transformation work, and operational improvements across a unique research campus. You’ll collaborate with design consultants, contractors, and internal stakeholders to keep complex projects moving, while also contributing to continuous improvement and strong project governance.
 
Because this is a client-side role, your ability to build relationships, communicate clearly, and influence stakeholders will be just as important as your technical project delivery knowledge.

You’ll be joining a team that values your voice, encourages contribution at all levels, and welcomes fresh thinking. A recognised project management qualification—such as Agile Foundation, PRINCE2 Foundation, APM Project Management—or a relevant, transferable skillset is important to help you succeed in this environment.
 
This role gives you the opportunity to:
  • Be part of a strategic, multi-year transformation programme in a world-leading research setting
  • Work on the client side, engaging directly with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders
  • Apply and develop your soft skills in a role where communication, coordination, and problem-solving are highly valued
  • Contribute to a collaborative Programme Office team focused on best practice and continuous improvement
You'll enjoy a strong benefits package, including:
  • Salary: £55,000 – £62,000 depending on experience
  • 27 days annual leave, plus bank holidays and Christmas shutdown
  • Excellent pension scheme and flexible working options
  • A supportive, people-first working culture in a world-class institution
My client combines the rigour of a professionally run capital programme with the purpose and passion of a research institute tackling global scientific challenges. The environment is unique, the projects are significant, and the people are genuinely committed to collaboration and innovation.

If you're looking for a Construction Project Manager role that gives you more—more purpose, more variety, more support—then this is your chance to be part of something that matters. Apply today.
