Client-Side Project Manager

Client-Side Project Manager – Major Liverpool Development

Liverpool | £50,000 – £60,000 + Benefits

We are working confidentially with an established Liverpool-based property and development organisation looking to appoint a Client-Side Project Manager to join its team and take a key role in the delivery of major new developments in the city.

Designed to provide an environment for some of the region’s most innovative organisations, the scheme will bring together commercial workspace within a highly sustainable, architecturally distinctive new building.

For a Project Manager, it represents a fantastic opportunity to become closely involved in a significant development from the client side and see it through the construction and delivery phases.

The Role

Working as part of a small, experienced client-side team, you will help manage the development from pre-construction through to completion and occupation.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Acting as a key client-side representative throughout the project
• Managing and coordinating the external professional team
• Working closely with the main contractor throughout pre-construction and delivery
• Monitoring programme, cost, quality and risk
• Reviewing project progress and reporting to senior stakeholders
• Coordinating design development and ensuring the project continues to meet the client’s requirements
• Supporting procurement, appointments and contract administration
• Managing change and helping resolve issues throughout the construction programme
• Liaising with future occupiers and stakeholders where required
• Supporting commissioning, handover and occupation
• Ensuring the development achieves the required quality, sustainability and operational standards

About You

We are looking for a Project Manager with experience delivering complex construction or development projects.

You may currently be working within a project management consultancy, developer, property company, contractor or client-side organisation and be looking for an opportunity to become more closely involved with the ownership and delivery of a major development.

You should be able to demonstrate:

• Experience managing construction projects through multiple stages of the development lifecycle
• Strong understanding of design, procurement and construction
• Experience coordinating consultants, contractors and other project stakeholders
• Good commercial awareness
• Strong programme and risk management skills
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management capability
• A proactive approach and the confidence to challenge when necessary
• The ability to manage multiple workstreams and priorities

Why Consider It?

For someone currently working within consultancy, this represents an excellent opportunity to move client-side and become much closer to the strategic decisions behind a major development.

Rather than managing a project on behalf of multiple clients, you will become part of the organisation responsible for creating, delivering and ultimately operating the development.

You’ll gain exposure to senior stakeholders and the full development process, while playing an important role in delivering a scheme that will contribute to Liverpool’s continued growth.

It’s also an opportunity to work for an organisation with a strong long-term commitment to Liverpool and a growing portfolio of innovative commercial property.
