We are a fast-growing multi-disciplinary chartered RIBA & ARB architectural practice, based in the West Midlands. We have a varied team with over 20 years of experience across fields, and our team is made up of architects, project managers, structural and civil engineers, quantity surveyors and contractors.
About the Role
We're looking for a hands-on Technical Project Manager with a strong residential construction background to take full responsibility for the successful delivery of projects from pre-construction through to handover. This is a hybrid role where you'll lead on-site operations while managing costs, contracts, timelines, and stakeholders. You'll play a key part in ensuring projects are delivered to a high standard, on time, and within budget.
Working across both office and site environments, you'll be responsible for managing procurement, overseeing budgets and valuations, coordinating subcontractors, handling programme and risk management, and maintaining compliance with health & safety and quality standards. This role requires someone who understands how a residential site runs, but who can also control the financial and contractual side of a build without needing constant oversight.
