Senior Project Manager Oxford – Major Projects
A well‑established and highly regarded main contractor is seeking to appoint an experienced Senior Project Manager / Contracts Manager to join their Oxfordshire operation. This is a critical senior appointment within the business, supporting a strong pipeline of client‑led, negotiated projects typically ranging from £10m to £30m.
The contractor works closely with repeat clients across a range of complex building projects and places strong emphasis on early engagement, collaboration and pre‑construction excellence. This role is key to maintaining those relationships and ensuring consistent delivery at a senior level.
This opportunity would suit an established Senior Project Manager ready to step into a broader role, or an experienced Contracts Manager with strong pre‑construction exposure.

Key responsibilities include:
- Managing client‑led, negotiated projects (£10m–£30m)
- Leading pre‑construction activities including design development, buildability, programming and procurement input
- Taking ownership of programme, quality, H&S and overall project performance
- Acting as the primary point of contact for clients, consultants and internal stakeholders
- Managing and supporting Project Managers, Site Teams and supply chain partners
- Working closely with commercial teams to ensure cost control and commercial success
- Contributing to work‑winning, early engagement and strategic planning where required
What We’re Looking For
- Proven experience as a Senior Project Manager or Contracts Manager within main contracting
- Strong background delivering complex projects between £10m–£30m
- Demonstrable pre‑construction and early‑stage project experience
- Experience working on negotiated or repeat‑client schemes
- Strong leadership, communication and client‑facing skills
- Commercially aware with the confidence to operate in a senior, influential position
Package
- Salary up to £90,000 (DOE)
- Car allowance
- Pension scheme
- Performance‑related benefits
- Long‑term, senior role within a stable and well‑respected contractor
