A major scheme in Bristol, valued at over £115 million, is now moving into an important phase of delivery, and we’re looking to appoint an experienced Senior Project Manager to take a leading role. This is a long‑term, multi‑phase programme involving significant technical construction and ongoing redevelopment across a large operational estate.

About the Project
The programme brings together a broad range of construction and technical requirements. A key part of the work sits within a large manufacturing environment, incorporating laboratories, production areas, controlled and sensitive spaces, and a mix of new build and complex refurbishment.

The scheme includes:
  • High‑spec new build structures
  • Refurbishment and upgrade of existing facilities
  • Integration of labs, production lines and specialist technical environments
  • Multiple delivery zones within a manufacturing estate
As well as the scale of the initial work, this programme forms part of a long‑term investment plan, with further phases and future opportunities expected once this stage is completed.

Responsibilities
  • Lead delivery across several work zones within a multi‑phase, high‑value programme
  • Manage internal teams, subcontractors and package leads
  • Maintain strong programme control and support coordination of technical interfaces
  • Ensure quality, health & safety and compliance requirements are consistently met
  • Communicate clearly with stakeholders, consultants and senior leadership
  • Support sequencing, logistics and integration of specialist technical areas
About You
  • Senior Project Manager with experience overseeing schemes of £30m+
  • Comfortable with both new build and complex refurbishment
  • Background in technical, manufacturing, R&D, defence, aerospace or regulated environments would be beneficial
  • Strong leadership skills across multidisciplinary teams and multi‑zone estates
  • Confident communicator with the ability to maintain clarity across a complex programme
  • SMSTS, CSCS (Manager level) and First Aid preferred
What’s on Offer
  • £100,000 – £120,000 salary
  • Car allowance + pension
  • Involvement in a major £115m+ programme with long‑term continuity
  • Senior responsibility within a significant technical project
  • Stability and ongoing opportunity as further phases progress
