• Develop and maintain project risk registers
• Manage and track project finances
• Project change control
• Develop and implement quality management processes.

The skills and experience you need to have for this role

• Construction related degree (or equivalent professional qualifications)
• Ideally chartered, progressing to, or considering chartership within RICS, APM or CIOB
• Good understanding of project delivery processes from RIBA 0-6.
• Proven and in-depth experience (ideally) of working within professional services in the construction industry. Experience within project management specifically will be a strong advantage.
• The ability to lead projects and teams, and to develop long-lasting client relationships, with autonomy
• The ability to set up and drive new projects from inception, including the early stages strategizing and team building, to on-site delivery, completion and handover
• Exceptional communication and reporting, incorporating the use of MS Office, MS Project and/or alternative scheduling software
