Project Director opportunities available at a top RC frame contractor

ABOUT THE COMPANY

With offices just outside London as well as in Central London, this specialist contractor completes a variety of packages for top tier developers, main contractors and private clients both in and around London. With one of their division having early involvement at the enabling works stages carrying out remediation and demolition works, this business is then able to take projects through groundwork, basement, and foundations stages through to the construction of reinforced concrete frames and structures. Project values vary but average current package sizes range from £10m to £50m each, on a mixture of residential, mixed-use, industrial, infrastructure, and energy projects.

On a personal note I would add that I work very closely with this business not only because of their size and capability but also because of their vision, goals, and attitude towards the way they work. The owners and directors are all focused on not only being an option in the market, but on being the best specialist contractor in the UK. I have already seen them go from strength to strength over the past few years and now I am genuinely excited about the continued expansion of this brand and the journey that their staff are on. This is a business I would hold up against any other in this market, and that’s based on feedback from people I have placed there and known for decades.

ABOUT THE ROLE

With new projects being secured, this business is looking to recruit a number of experienced Project Managers, Senior Project Managers, and Project Directors for the schemes they have starting in Q4 of this year and Q1 of next.

Locations include:

  • Poplar,
  • White City
  • Paddington
  • Walsall
  • Reading
  • And others.

Whether you are working on a £10m package or a £50m+ package the expectation remains the same; as the lead on your project you will be expected to oversee everything from programme, through to budget. Client relationships should be developed and it will be your responsibility to organize, plan and execute the works involved on multi-million pound groundwork and RC frame packages.

REQUIREMENTS

Suitable candidates need to be degree qualified in civil engineering or construction management and must be able to show a strong history from a site engineer level through to project management over the last 5-10+ years.

It is crucial that candidates can show a strong amount of concrete frame construction background having worked for rival concrete frame and groundwork subcontractors in the UK. Candidates from solely a main contract or development background cannot be considered.

Regarding software, our client uses the usual Microsoft programmes, standard email functions and Asta Power Project for planning/programming works. Project Managers will be required to use all these tools.

I need Project Managers who have stable backgrounds, have delivered medium to large RC frames and are looking to work for the best of the best.

REWARDS AND BENEFITS

This business offers above average packages to ensure their staff are happy with their income and beyond this, to ensure they see this as a long term move when joining the company. Stability of employment and maintaining a low staff turnover is important in line with everything this business stands for.

For this position we have been given a rough bracket of £90,000 to £120,000 per annum as the salary which will also include benefits and a structured bonus scheme on top. And we can consider individuals looking to be employed on a self-employed basis (including limited companies), as well as PAYE. All offers are subject to experience.

About Cityscape Recruitment

Cityscape Recruitment is not like any other construction recruitment agency. Our business does not have a sales-driven environment, instead, we reward quality over quantity.

We use our specialist industry knowledge to help introduce and guide construction professionals into companies that best suit their desired career aspirations and personal goals. From Quantity Surveyors to Site Managers to Civil Engineers, we work to the same objective of helping to enhance their careers.

And our relationships don’t end on day one of a new role – we pride ourselves on our ability to build long-lasting relationships with both clients and construction professionals. And we are fortunate enough to work with many leading construction companies and professionals in London and throughout the rest of the UK.

What our clients say

We have worked with Alex Wallace and the Cityscape Recruitment team for a number of years now and find their service excellent.

They supply well matched and vetted candidates and very quickly understood all our requirements. They have always demonstrated good market knowledge and an ability to deliver to our requirements.

Commercial Director,
Main Contractor

I have used Cityscape Recruitment multiple times over the last 5 years. Very pleasant to deal with and all candidates put forward for interview are well suited to the position and well vetted by the team, so there is no time wasted with unsuitable applicants. I would highly recommend Cityscape. I intend to use them again in the future should any vacancies become available.

Operations Director,
Platt and Reilly Ltd

The Cityscape Recruitment team has always been great to deal with. Always ready to listen to our needs and requirements, a quality some recruiters do not appreciate or have, then advising where they can assist in our staff procurement. We look forward to working with Laura and Cityscape in the coming years.

When you first contact us, be that through direct contact, responding to an advert or applying through our website, we will connect you with a consultant who works in your specialist area. 

Initially, they will arrange a meeting to talk through your CV and career history. They will encourage you to go into detail about your background and experiences, capabilities and responsibilities, personal circumstances and any other factors they feel are relevant to help them build up a well-rounded profile of you. 

We take extraordinary care in matching professionals to an opportunity – one that will help enhance their careers and a clients’ team. We therefore also use this meeting to empower you in your career. Using our extensive knowledge of the construction industry, we would provide in-depth overviews of businesses, projects and available roles, and guidance on where your strengths will add the most value and career potential. 

After this meeting, the consultant will speak to a number of their clients about you and your CV. Who they speak to can be either jointly agreed upon or you can trust the judgement and expertise of the consultant to contact clients they feel are the best fit for your experience and goals.

If any clients are interested in meeting with you, the consultant will manage the interview process, coaching you before any interviews if required. (Further guidance can be found here.)

If you are successful in receiving an offer(s), our consultant will communicate this with you and help to negotiate the offer(s) and any other terms of employment. 

Finally, we will support you in resigning from your current role, navigating potential counter offers and starting your new role.
