Summary

I'm currently recruiting for an experienced Senior Construction Project Manager to join a local authority in Edinburgh City Centre on an initial 6-month contract.

This is a varied role sitting within the council's property/construction function and will involve managing a diverse programme of works across schools, public buildings and housing.

The opportunity:

Senior Construction Project Manager

Local authority environment

Location: just outside Edinburgh

Initial 6-month contract

Strong hourly rate

Flexible working arrangements

Varied construction and refurbishment projects across education, public buildings and housing

We are keen to speak with experienced Project Managers who have a strong background in construction and property capital projects, ideally within local authority, public sector, housing or similarly complex estates environments. Experience managing projects from early stages through procurement, construction and completion would be particularly relevant.

If you're coming to the end of a contract, considering your next interim assignment, or would simply like to hear more about the opportunity, please forward your latest cv and I'll give you a call to discuss the role in more detail.

Kind regards,

Taylor Munro
