Let’s be clear.

This is not a stepping-stone role.

We’re hiring a Senior Project Manager to take full ownership of infrastructure delivery in the Liverpool region.

If you’ve led large, complex projects - and delivered them without excuses - this will interest you.

What You’ll Own

Not assist. Not support.

Own.

  • End-to-end project delivery
  • P&L responsibility
  • Programme strategy and sequencing
  • Senior client interface
  • Commercial performance and margin protection
  • Risk management and mitigation
  • Leadership of Project Managers and Site Managers

Major infrastructure and utilities projects across the Liverpool area.

Expect:

  • Multi-discipline delivery (civils & electrical)
  • Complex stakeholder environments
  • Live operational constraints
  • Tight commercial controls
  • High visibility with senior leadership

These are career-defining builds - not minor works.

What We’re Looking For

You’ve already operated at this level.

  • Proven experience delivering large infrastructure projects
  • Strong commercial acumen - you understand margin, cash flow, CVR
  • Confident managing Tier 1 subcontractors
  • Comfortable in high-pressure delivery environments
  • Strong leadership presence

You don’t wait for direction.

You drive outcomes.

What You Get

  • Competitive senior-level package

  • Clear progression at leadership level

This is not a holding pattern role.

It’s growth.
