Job Description:

Project Manager / Senior Site Manager – Industrial Construction

Northampton | £20m Project | Permanent

We are recruiting for an experienced Project Manager / Senior Site Manager to take a leading role on a £20m industrial construction project in Northampton.

Our client is an established main contractor with an excellent track record within the industrial, logistics and distribution sector, delivering substantial projects throughout the Midlands and across the UK.

We are particularly interested in speaking with construction professionals who understand industrial builds and can confidently manage the pace, sequencing and subcontractor coordination involved in delivering these projects.

The Project

You'll be joining the team responsible for the delivery of a circa £20m industrial/logistics development in Northampton.

We're looking for someone who understands the full lifecycle of this type of project — from groundworks and foundations through steel frame, roofing and cladding, floor slabs, M&E, internal office accommodation, external works, service yards and final handover.

The Role

Depending upon your experience, you could join at either Project Manager or Senior Site Manager level.

You'll work closely with the wider project, commercial and technical teams to ensure the scheme is delivered safely, on programme, to specification and to the expected quality standards.

Responsibilities will include:

• Managing day-to-day project delivery

• Coordinating site management teams and subcontractors

• Driving programme and short-term planning

• Monitoring progress against key milestones

• Managing health, safety and environmental standards

• Maintaining quality throughout construction

• Chairing and contributing to progress meetings

• Working closely with commercial and design teams

• Managing client and consultant relationships

• Identifying and resolving potential programme issues

• Driving the project through commissioning, completion and handover

About You

Ideally, you will have previously delivered industrial, logistics, warehouse or distribution projects for a main contractor.

We're looking for somebody who is comfortable taking ownership, making decisions and driving a project rather than simply monitoring progress.

You should have:

• Strong main contractor experience

• Project Manager or Senior Site Manager experience

• Industrial/logistics project experience ideally

• Experience delivering multi-million-pound construction schemes

• Strong programming and sequencing knowledge

• Excellent subcontractor management skills

• Good commercial and technical awareness

• Strong health & safety knowledge

• Excellent communication and leadership skills

• Relevant SMSTS, CSCS and First Aid qualifications

Experience taking projects from groundworks through to completion would be particularly attractive.

Why Consider It?

This is an opportunity to join an established contractor with a strong and growing workload within one of the most active areas of the construction market.

You'll be taking a key role on a £20m project, with further opportunities available beyond completion for somebody looking to establish a long-term career with the business.

If you're an experienced Project Manager or Senior Site Manager with industrial/logistics experience and you're based within travelling distance of Northampton, I'd like to hear from you.
