Senior Project Manager

Your new company

Hays is delighted to be working with this Global Construction consultancy to find a new Senior Project Manager to join their Edinburgh team. With their cost consultancy and project management operation expanding due to secured pipelines of domestic and international instructions, this is an excellent opportunity for someone who is looking to diversify their skillset and take on bigger challenges in their working life.

Your new role

Our Clients Project Management Consultancy team sits within the National Building Consultancy's Project and Cost Management Group.

Providing support to investor and developer clients, the team has established a secure pipeline of work and has been working closely with existing clients along with the organisation's planning and leasing teams to win further high profile instructions going forward into the new year.
