to £65k + car / allowance + generous benefits

Our Birmingham based client specialises in the provision of bespoke automation and materials handling solutions to some of the biggest names in the UK. As a result of continued success and an ongoing planned program of strategic expansion, they are now seeking to recruit an articulate, dynamic and highly self-motivated and experienced Project Manager to complement their established and successful project team.

The successful Project Manager will be tasked with maintaining constant communication with site managers, staff and Clients in order to ensure proper operations of the company and consistency in the delivery of services, necessitating the maintenance, management and development of quality assurance protocols where required. You will be responsible for ensuring that operational and deliverable activities remain on time and within budget and overseeing all Client facing deliverables on behalf of the Company, whilst expanding the Client portfolio in the form of identifying opportunities for service provision in the industry and initiating conversations with industry providers regarding additional solutions to obtain future business.

With essential knowledge of the CDM Regulations 2015, core responsibilities for this varied and challenging Project Contracts Manager role will include (but not be limited to):

• Understanding the requirements of a potential Principal Contractor project and developing initial budgetary costing documents utilizing current company systems to be returned to the Client for consideration, whilst developing inclusions, exclusions and assumptions within said budgetary costings in line with the project requirements and relevant legislation.
• Managing the project from a 'Principal Contractor Project Manager' perspective, including full budgetary management of the project (including all direct suppliers and labour) and running weekly Client facing update meetings focussing on matters relating to H&S and the Principal Contractor role and will include regular site visits and attendance at weekly meetings on site or by Teams.
• Maintaining an overall site activity H&S coordination role that will balance the needs of all contractors and the Client, whilst maintaining the overall project (although the responsibility for Client or Contractor commercial matters will be dealt with by others).
• Developing CDM legal documentation such as the Construction Phase H&S Plan, TMP's, Fire Safety Plans, etc. for deliverable projects with the support of the Site Manager.
• "Protecting" the company in matters relating to budgetary and service delivery i.e. ensuring what is being delivered is what was agreed and any exclusions or items 'outside of scope' are not financially incurred.
• Managing company suppliers and labour contracts throughout a project (i.e. Cabins, Cleaners, Fire Extinguisher, Stationary, Internet Access, Security etc.).
• Collating all necessary H&S File Information / O&M Manuals from Contractors involved in the project and distributing to the Principal Designer (CDM) at completion stage.

Additionally, there may be instances where the successful candidate could be required to act as an additional resource to a sister division of the business relevant to Construction H&S.

It is envisaged that the successful candidate will ideally be qualified to NEBOSH Certificate Level 3 (General or Construction), be SMSTS trained and a Member of the Associate of Project Safety (APS) whilst demonstrating at least 3 years of proven successful experience gained within the construction industry and solid commercial acumen including strong skills in budget development and oversight and proficiency in conflict management, project management and business negotiation processes.
