Description

Our client, a respected civil engineering contractor, is seeking a Project Manager to deliver a flagship £10 million flood defence scheme across the beaches of Paignton and Preston in Torbay. This project is vital for safeguarding more than 350 properties, the town centre, and two much-loved seafronts, while enhancing public spaces and celebrating the natural character of the area.

Originally envisioned as a traditional sea wall, the scheme has evolved into a tiered coastal defence system enriched by community-led placemaking. It balances essential infrastructure with environmental and public realm enhancements — protecting against sea level rise while creating inviting, resilient spaces for residents and visitors.

As Project Manager, you’ll play a pivotal role in delivering this complex scheme to the highest standards of safety, quality, and environmental stewardship.

As a Project Manager you will be responsible for:

* Resource Allocation & Team Management – Directly manage Sub Agents and General Foreman and oversee wider site staff to ensure optimal resource use.

* Programme & Budget Reporting – Track progress, manage timelines, and report on financial performance to senior leadership.

* Health & Safety – Enforce safe systems of work and ensure compliance with all health and safety policies.

* Quality & Environment – Uphold strict Quality Assurance and Environmental Management protocols across the site.

* Stakeholder Communication – Maintain clear, proactive communication with internal and external stakeholders.

* Project Delivery – Ensure all works are delivered on time, on budget, and to specification, with a strong focus on community and environmental outcomes.

Essential Requirements:

* Degree in Civil Engineering or Construction Management.

* Proven experience in a similar Project Management role within the civil engineering sector.

* Demonstrable career progression from Site Agent with strong technical foundations.

* Site qualifications including CSCS, SMSTS (5-day), and First Aid at Work (4-day).

Desirable Skills & Qualifications:

* Chartered or working towards Chartership (e.g., ICE).

* Training in relevant areas such as Form of Contracts, Falsework/Formwork, Concrete Technology, or H&S Management.

* Experience managing multi-disciplinary teams on complex infrastructure projects, particularly in coastal or flood defence environments.

Salary and benefits include:

* £70,000 - £79,000 per annum

* Car allowance

* Enhanced annual leave

* Contributory pension scheme
