Your new company
You will be working for a leading civil engineering contractor with a busy 2024 ahead of them in the Inverness area. Joining them on a freelance basis, for an initial 6-month contract, you will provide expertise in your role as a Project Manager. With a start date of August 2024, you will join the project in the pre-construction phase and see it right through to handover.
Your new role
In your new role as a Project Manager, you will be involved in finalising the construction plan with the wider team and then taking a lead role in its delivery. You will be working as part of a team and displaying clear leadership skills as head of the project. You will manage health & safety across the project and work with site supervisors to ensure all operatives are adhering to health & safety standards and procedures on site. You will organise all direct labour, plant and materials for the project and work with the commercial team to procure them in line with company processes. On a day-to-day basis, you will manage subcontractors and track the project in line with the desired timeframe. Working closely with the Quantity Surveyor assigned to the project, you will proactively manage costs and risks on site.
What you'll need to succeed
In order to be successful in this role, you must have previous experience in a Project Manager role or Senior Site Agent/ Manager level. You will display excellent organisation skills and the ability to lead the site team. A background in civil engineering is essential, with a formal qualification such as a degree or HND in Civil Engineering being preferred. Ideally, you will have knowledge and experience of the construction of new roads and structures and an understanding of NEC 4 contracts. Previous experience of managing a project's programme in line with weekly and monthly priorities is key as you will play a key role in the successful delivery of the site. Managing labour and subcontractors and the ability to foster a safe and productive working environment will be key. You must also hold an SMSTS, First Aid and CSCS card.
What you'll get in return
This is a great opportunity to secure a long-term contract in the Inverness area. Our clients are busy throughout the North of Scotland, so there could be opportunities for further work with them. You will be paid a competitive rate of pay, but no accommodation or subsistence is on offer, so it would be best to live in the Inverness area for this role.
