Perfect role for a mid professional looking to grow their Property & Construction career in Cardiff.
Cardiff's construction sector has barely slowed in the last few years, with regeneration schemes and commercial developments stacking up across the city and the wider South Wales region.
The business behind this role is an established, large-scale operator in Property & Construction, the kind of enterprise that's been shaping skylines for decades rather than chasing one-off contracts.
A Senior Project Manager joining now steps straight into live, substantial work, not a training exercise.
Here's what you'll be doing: Run live construction projects from pre-start through to handover, keeping programme, cost and quality aligned throughout Coordinate architects, contractors, subcontractors and internal teams so nobody's working off outdated information Monitor budgets and variations, flagging risk to senior stakeholders before it becomes a problem rather than after Chair site and progress meetings, and produce reporting that gives leadership a clear, honest view of where things stand Manage health and safety compliance across sites, working within established frameworks rather than reinventing process each time Build and maintain client relationships through regular, structured communication Here are the skills you'll need: Several years' project management experience within Property & Construction, ideally managing projects of meaningful scale Working knowledge of construction contracts (JCT or NEC), programme software, and cost control methods A relevant qualification such as a construction-related degree, or progress toward MRICS, MCIOB or similar Sharp organisational instincts.
You'll be holding several moving parts at once, and nothing should slip through the gaps Confident communication with clients, contractors and internal teams, including the ability to hold your ground when it matters A practical, problem-solving mindset.
Sites rarely go exactly to plan, and this role needs someone who adjusts rather than panics Key perks and benefits: Salary of £38,500 to £48,500, reflecting the scale and responsibility of the role Comprehensive benefits package including private medical and dental insurance Enhanced pension scheme and performance-based bonuses Office-based role in Cardiff, working within clear reporting lines and established best-practice frameworks Structured career development within a large, well-resourced organisation Why pursue a career in Property & Construction?
Property & Construction keeps building (literally) even when other sectors wobble, and Cardiff is one of the stronger regional markets for it right now.
Progression tends to be visible and earned: a Senior Project Manager who delivers well-run projects gets noticed, and the next step up is rarely a mystery.
Few sectors let you point at a finished building and say you made that happen.
