About the job

Description

An award-winning civil engineering and renewables subcontractor is looking for a Project Manager to join their growing team. With a surge in new work and secured frameworks with major energy and renewables clients, as well as several local authorities, this business is scaling rapidly and needs a capable, hands-on leader to take ownership of key projects.

From rail infrastructure to renewables and public sector civils, you'll work across a wide variety of technically engaging projects — all while having a direct impact on the company’s direction and future success.

This is a full project lifecycle role. You’ll be involved from tender through to delivery, running multiple civil and renewables projects with minimal supervision. The environment is fast-paced and dynamic — ideal for someone who thrives on ownership and action.

They’re looking for someone who gets stuck in and uses their initiative. You’ll be solutions-focused, commercially aware, and confident leading teams and building lasting relationships with stakeholders.

What You’ll Do

• Lead all phases of projects — from bids and planning to delivery and handover
• Manage budgets, timelines, resources, and risks with commercial acumen
• Maintain high standards in health & safety, quality, and environmental compliance
• Collaborate with internal teams, subcontractors, and external stakeholders
• Build strong client relationships and become a trusted point of contact
• Oversee site personnel and manage suppliers, plant, and materials
• Travel to project sites (UK-wide)

Who You Are

• Experienced Project Manager from a civil engineering and/or renewables background
• Proactive and solutions-focused — you take initiative without needing to be asked
• Confident working across the full project lifecycle
• Able to lead and manage teams while maintaining strong client rapport
• Organised and commercially savvy, with a track record of delivering on time and within budget
• Comfortable working flexibly, occasionally including weekends or travel
• Degree-qualified in a relevant discipline
• Holding a current PTS card would be a benefit.

Why This Role?

• Influence: You’ll be a key voice in decision-making, helping shape the future of the business
• Ownership: You’ll run your own projects with full responsibility and autonomy
• Variety: Work across rail, local authority civils, and renewables frameworks
• Growth: Be part of a growing team with real opportunities to progress

Location: Office-based in Central Scotland (with UK travel)
