Landscape Project Manager Buckinghamshire & the South East Full-time CGLA is looking for an experienced Landscape Project Manager or an exceptional Senior Site Manager ready to take the next step to take ownership of the delivery of our high-end landscape projects. About CGLA CGLA designs and builds exceptional gardens and landscapes across Buckinghamshire, the Home Counties and London. Our projects are varied, technically interesting and beautifully detailed, combining hard and soft landscaping with elements such as pools, structures, lighting, irrigation and bespoke features. This is a hands-on project management role for someone who understands how landscapes are actually built and enjoys making projects happen. The Role You will take ownership of projects from pre-construction and mobilisation through to practical completion, working with our design, commercial and site teams to deliver them safely, profitably, on programme and to an exceptional standard. You will be the principal day-to-day point of contact for the client throughout construction, building strong relationships, keeping them informed, managing expectations and dealing confidently and professionally with the issues and decisions that inevitably arise during a complex landscape project. You will be responsible for the whole picture: planning the works, coordinating people and resources, managing clients and subcontractors, keeping control of programme and cost, solving problems before they become problems, and ensuring that the finished landscape reflects the quality of the original design. On a typical project, you will: Develop and manage the construction programme Lead client liaison throughout the build, providing clear, proactive communication and managing expectations Coordinate site teams, subcontractors, plant, materials and specialist suppliers Plan ahead for procurement and resource requirements Manage project costs, variations and commercial performance Identify programme, buildability and delivery risks early Lead and support Foremen and site teams Coordinate effectively with designers, architects and other consultants and contractors Monitor quality and drive a right-first-time approach Manage snagging, handover and project completion Ensure excellent health and safety standards throughout Who We Are Looking For You may already be managing high-end landscape projects, or you may be a Senior Site Manager who has reached the point where you are ready for greater responsibility and ownership. Either way, you will need strong construction and landscaping knowledge and the ability to see both the detail and the bigger picture. We are particularly interested in people who are: Highly organised and able to manage several moving parts at once Proactive rather than reactive Commercially aware and comfortable working with budgets Confident managing programmes, subcontractors and site teams Good communicators who are comfortable dealing directly with discerning clients Calm and solutions-focused when projects become challenging Comfortable with project administration and technology Able to hold people accountable while building positive working relationships Genuine completer-finishers who take pride in seeing a project delivered properly Experience of high-end residential landscaping would be a significant advantage, but we are equally interested in people with strong landscape construction experience who are ready to progress into a broader project management role. Why CGLA? CGLA is an established, award-winning landscape design and build company with more than 25 years' experience delivering exceptional gardens. We are small enough for you to make a real difference, and you will be reporting directly to our General Manager with your own site operatives as direct reports. As a founder-owned business, one of CGLA's genuine strengths is the accessibility of its decision-makers and the opportunity for the right person to influence how the business develops. This role offers a direct route to the founders and the ability to help shape improvements, rather than simply working within established processes. With in-house design as well as construction expertise, our Project Managers are involved in the early-stage shaping of interesting, highly individual projects rather than simply administering standard construction packages. You will have considerable autonomy and the opportunity to make a real impact on how projects are delivered. For the right Senior Site Manager, this is also an opportunity to make the move into full project management while retaining the practical, site-led approach that makes great landscape projects work. We are looking for someone who wants responsibility, enjoys solving problems and takes genuine satisfaction from delivering an exceptional finished project. Competitive salary and package, dependent on experience. If you think this could be the right next step, we would be very happy to have an initial confidential conversation. Equals One is an advertising and recruitment agency working on behalf of our client to promote this vacancy. You may be contacted directly by the employer should they wish to progress your application.
