Projects include city-focused commercial and residential high-rise frames, as well as complex civils packages on HS2 Based in Hertfordshire with a current turnover of £120m per annum. Projects all inside London, focusing on mid to high-rise RC frames for residential development projects. Based in East London with £80m turnover. Current projects include a mixture of cut & carve, RC frame and groundwork packages. Based in South West London, current turnover above £200m per annum, working on some of the largest structures and groundwork packages in and around London. About the Opportunities: I have been asked to find multiple Project Managers capable of delivering large reinforced concrete frame/structures, basements and associated groundworks packages on projects in and around London (initially, there are projects secured in South East London, North West London, Central London and North London). Individuals will need to have a strong understanding of everything from piling, groundworks, basement construction and concrete frame construction, while working on a mixture of residential and commercial projects in the past, directly for the sub-contractor overseeing these packages with values of at least £15m. Usual duties will apply from overall management of the site team, technical management of the programme and works, through to management of the client and surrounding aspects (i.e. health & safety, temporary works, engineering solutions and site meetings). About the Requirements: Suitable candidates need to be degree qualified in civil engineering or construction management and must be able to show a strong history from a site engineer level through to management over the last 5-10+ years.

About the Rewards: These businesses offers above average packages to ensure their staff are happy with their income and beyond this, to ensure they see this as a long term move.

And we can consider individuals looking to be employed on a self-employed basis (including limited companies), as well as PAYE. How to Apply: I am more than happy to discuss this opportunity with people over the phone or face to face in a fully confidential manner. This is an incestuous sector and I fully understand the importance of keeping things discrete. Alternatively, it would be ideal to see a copy of your CV to understand your previous experience and employment. In line with GDPR, nothing will be done with your CV / details until we have discussed the role in detail anyway, but having gained an understanding of your formal past, this may help when we come to talk and discuss the option. Either way, my contact details are listed below: Email (remove all spaces): ltd . com Tel: (phone number removed) About Me, Your Consultant: My name is Andrew Jackson and I am one of the founding directors of Cityscape Recruitment Ltd. I have over 20 years of experience in civil engineering & construction recruitment, during which time, I have specialised in the niche sectors of concrete frames, groundworks, basement construction, and demolition. So, what does that mean for you? It means you won t be trusting your career to someone who doesn t understand the market. I work with the vast majority of the groundwork & concrete frame businesses in the UK and I can help not only introduce you but can give you up-to-date information on each of them, helping you make an informed decision so you can take your career forward. I ve been doing this for a fair while now and I ve maintained a positive reputation doing what I do because I don t tell people whatever it takes, I tell them the truth. My job is to get you the options you want, give you the information you need, and then to let you decide what feels right for you.
