- Description
We’re on the lookout for a talented Project Leader to take the lead on some truly exciting projects across the North East. Typically you will be running on Major Construction Projects (£300m–£60m) in the North East
If you’ve got a strong background in the construction industry and love seeing complex builds come to life, from the first client meeting right through to handover, this could be your next big move.
What You’ll Be Doing
As Project Manager, you’ll be at the heart of delivery. You’ll guide projects through preconstruction, planning, and delivery, keeping everything running smoothly, safely, and to the highest standard.
You’ll:
- Lead large-scale projects (typically £30m–£60m in value).
- Build and motivate great teams, both in-house and on site.
- Manage programmes, budgets, and progress reporting.
- Keep communication open and transparent with clients and supply chain partners.
- Ensure safety, quality, and compliance are always front of mind.
This is a role where your leadership and problem-solving skills really make an impact.
What We’re Looking For
You’re an experienced Project Manager who’s delivered complex construction projects successfully, and you know what it takes to keep things on track under pressure.
You’ll also bring:
- Proven experience leading multi-million-pound projects.
- Great communication and relationship-building skills.
- Strong commercial awareness and attention to detail.
- The ability to read and interpret drawings, specifications, and contracts.
You’ll also need:
- Level 4 qualification (HNC / NVQ4 or equivalent).
- CSCS card, SMSTS, and First Aid at Work certificate.
- A valid driving licence.
Bonus points for:
- A construction-related degree.
- Working towards (or already holding) MCIOB status.
- Experience using project planning software.
What’s In It for You
We know how hard you work, and we like to reward that.
You’ll get:
- A competitive salary (based on your experience).
- A flexible, market-leading benefits package you can tailor to your lifestyle.
- Enhanced pension and life assurance.
- Private medical cover options.
- Annual incentive bonus.
- A sustainable company car scheme, including electric and hybrid options.
- Real opportunities to grow and progress your career with a leading contractor.

You’ll be joining a business that’s passionate about building great places and positive communities, not just projects. We’re proud of our people, our culture, and our commitment to creating a more sustainable built environment across the North East.
We’re also an inclusive and flexible employer, supporting agile working wherever possible, and a proud member of the Disability Confident Scheme.
If this sounds like your kind of challenge, we’d love to hear from you.
