Our local authority client based in East London are urgently seeking an experienced Construction Project Manager.
*£285 a day Umbrella*
Job Role
We will implement a variable fee to assess and monitor Demolition and Construction Management Plans (DCMP) conditioned as a result of planning approvals.
It is envisaged that dedicated officers will be employed to manage this process from that date and that these new posts will eventually be funded from the revenue generated.
We currently are looking to employ an interim project manager for 6 months to establish working practices detailing how the processes will operate effectively and efficiently.
The role will include the following:
- Liaison with the relevant teams which feed into the assessment of such plans, particularly Highways, Environmental Health and Planning, to ensure that requirements are met;
- Initiate a process map indicating how DCMPs will be assessed, negotiated and approved / not approved and how the DCMP officers will interact with Highways, Environmental Health, Planning and Developers/Contractors;
- Establish where best to place the posts within the existing structure and within what teams;
- Draw up job descriptions (JD) for the DCMP officers, agreed the JDs with the relevant teams, HR and Trades Unions;
- Oversee the recruitment of suitable candidates into the DCMP officer roles.
Who we are looking for:
Whilst this interim role is, essentially, a project manager it would be desirable for the candidate to have knowledge of the Planning system and of the relevant laws associated with Highways and Environmental Health as statutory consultees on conditions relating to demolition and construction of approved planning applications.
This is predominantly a remote working role however the candidate will be expected to attend regular Teams meetings to liaise with relevant officers and to update on the project. There may be an occasional requirement for site meetings.
Please apply with your updated CV ensuring that any gaps in employment are explained.
