Project Manager - Lincoln (Hybrid, 3 days office) £40-45,000 with long-term prospects Some consultancies grow by making noise. Others grow by quietly delivering the kind of work that earns trust, opens doors and builds a reputation far greater than their headcount might suggest. This business sits firmly in the latter camp. Over the last few years, they have established themselves as a specialist force in a unique corner of the public sector, delivering transformation that genuinely shapes how vital services operate across the UK. Their projects are never one note. One month there might be a full ERP implementation, the next it could be a complex systems overhaul or the kind of behaviour-led change that shifts how people work, communicate and respond on the ground. Each piece of work carries its own pressures, sensitivities and moving parts, and that is exactly why their clients rely on them. Much of their work reaches into some of the UK's most scrutinised public institutions. These are places where outcomes must stand up to challenge, where technology underpins public protection and where transformation needs to land first time. These environments do not tolerate half measures. They demand clarity, consistency and an unwavering ability to guide people through change with confidence and credibility. That is why their project management team remains deliberately small, highly dedicated and carefully chosen. They want to add someone who brings not just solid project management experience but the softer strengths that truly drive delivery forward. Someone with a grounded work ethic who does not flinch when things get messy. Someone who can navigate multi-layered stakeholder landscapes without losing sight of the human element. Someone with the gravitas to hold a room, whether that is everyday users or senior decision makers, and the determination to see a project through to the finish no matter how many twists it takes. In return, you will join a consultancy where your impact is visible, and your voice is valued. You will be close to the decisions, trusted with the responsibility you have earned and supported by a team who care deeply about doing things properly. They are ambitious, proud of the ground they have already taken and clear about their path to become the number one provider in their specialist sector. Joining them now means growing with them and shaping their future as much as they shape yours. You will spend three days each week in their Lincoln office, working alongside colleagues who genuinely enjoy their craft, with the freedom to balance the remaining time around client needs and the rhythm of delivery. With a salary between £40,000 and £45,000 depending on experience, this role offers meaningful work and long-term development within a consultancy that is moving forward with purpose. If you are a credible and capable project manager who thrives in high-trust environments and wants to be part of a business whose impact reaches far beyond its size, this could be exactly the step you have been waiting for. Contact Will Taylor at Hays in Lincoln to discuss the opportunity in more detail. Hays Specialist Recruitment Limited acts as an employment agency for permanent recruitment and employment business for the supply of temporary workers. By applying for this job you accept the T&C's, Privacy Policy and Disclaimers which can be found at hays.co.uk
