Summary

Perfect role for a mid professional looking to grow their Property & Construction career in Oxford.

Oxford's building sector doesn't stand still. Between university developments, life sciences facilities and the steady push for new housing across the county, demand for people who can actually run a site from paper to practical completion has rarely been higher. This particular business is a startup, small enough that you'll know everyone's name, ambitious enough that it's already competing for serious contracts. They need a Project Manager (Construction) who wants real ownership, not just a seat at the table.

Here's what you'll be doing:

Running construction projects from pre-start through to handover, keeping programme, budget and quality all moving together

Coordinating architects, subcontractors and suppliers so nothing stalls waiting on someone else's decision

Chairing site meetings and writing them up properly, so decisions don't get lost or re-argued a fortnight later

Tracking costs against budget weekly and flagging variances before they become a problem

Managing health and safety compliance on site, including RAMS review and CDM obligations

Reporting progress directly to the founders, with the freedom to shape how projects get delivered

Here are the skills you'll need:

A few years' experience managing construction projects, ideally within Property & Construction rather than an adjacent field

Working knowledge of JCT contracts and CDM regulations

Comfortable reading drawings and specifications without needing everything explained twice

Confident managing subcontractors and suppliers, including the awkward conversations

Organised under pressure. Deadlines slip in construction; good PMs catch it early

SMSTS or equivalent site safety qualification preferred

Key perks and benefits:

£40,000 to £57,000, depending on experience

Equity in a growing business, not just a payslip

Flexible working hours around site and office demands

Learning and development budget for courses, tickets or professional membership

Based in the office in Oxford, working alongside a small, hands-on team rather than remotely

Why pursue a career in Property & Construction?

Construction rewards people who can hold a dozen moving parts in their head and still hit a deadline. Oxford's mix of heritage buildings, university expansion and new residential schemes means the work rarely repeats itself, and a good Project Manager (Construction) becomes indispensable fast. Progress here isn't theoretical. It's a director title, or your own patch of projects, within a few years of proving you can deliver.

This Project Manager (Construction) opportunity is brought to you by The Opportunity Hub UK.
