OCS are currently recruiting for an established specialist civils and concrete contractor that is looking to strengthen its project delivery team with an experienced Project Manager for a number of major Civils projects across Cambridgeshire.
This is an opportunity for a technically strong, engineering-led Project Manager with a proven background in RC Frame, Groundworks and Infrastructure.
Some of the projects will involve working in airside environments, so candidates must be comfortable operating on technically demanding and highly controlled sites.

THE OPPORTUNITY
You'll take responsibility for the successful delivery of civils packages from mobilisation through to completion, working closely with the client, design team, commercial team and site delivery teams. Projects will involve a combination of:
  • Groundworks
  • Reinforced Concrete / RC Frame
  • Heavy Civils
  • Infrastructure
  • Foundations & structural works
  • Drainage and associated infrastructure
  • Airside / operational environments

WHO I'M LOOKING FOR
I'm particularly interested in speaking with Project Managers who have come from an engineering / civil engineering background and have progressed into project management.
You'll ideally have:
  • Proven experience as a Project Manager within civils / civil engineering
  • Strong RC Frame and Groundworks experience
  • Significant infrastructure experience
  • A genuine engineering background
  • Experience managing complex construction projects from start to finish
  • Strong technical understanding of construction methodologies
  • Experience managing site teams, subcontractors and supply chains
  • Strong programme and planning knowledge
  • Experience managing health & safety, quality and environmental requirements
  • Excellent client and stakeholder management skills
  • Strong commercial awareness
  • The ability to lead from the front and drive project delivery
Airside / airport experience would be highly advantageous, although candidates from other major infrastructure or technically demanding civils environments will also be considered.

WHY CONSIDER IT?
This is a great opportunity for a Project Manager who wants to work on high-profile civils and infrastructure projects in Cambridgeshire, with the added challenge of delivering projects within airside environments.
You'll be working for an established specialist contractor with a strong track record across groundworks, reinforced concrete, civil engineering and infrastructure. Apply Now
