Project Manager

Consula is recruiting on behalf of a growing Manchester employer for an experienced Project Manager to lead the delivery of key projects across the North West. Our client has built a strong reputation in the region and is now investing in a series of new initiatives, which means this role offers genuine variety and the chance to shape how projects are delivered as the business grows.

Our client is at an exciting point in its development. The project pipeline is expanding, the team is growing, and they need someone who can bring structure, momentum and a steady hand to a busy portfolio of work.

This opportunity would suit a confident, organised Project Manager who enjoys taking ownership, bringing teams together and keeping stakeholders informed from start to finish.

Location: Manchester

Salary: £58,000 – £60,500 per year

Employment: Permanent

The Role

• Leading projects from initiation through planning, delivery and close across a growing portfolio.

• Defining scope, objectives, timelines and resource requirements in partnership with project sponsors.

• Managing project budgets, tracking spend and reporting on financial performance.

• Identifying, recording and managing risks, issues and dependencies across multiple workstreams.

• Coordinating cross-functional teams, suppliers and third parties across the North West.

• Producing clear progress reports and presenting updates to senior stakeholders.

• Ensuring quality standards, governance and change control are followed at every stage.

• Helping to develop and improve project processes as the business continues to grow.

A Typical Day

Your morning will usually begin with a stand-up or check-in with your delivery teams, making sure everyone knows the priorities and anything blocking progress is dealt with quickly. From there you could be reviewing a business case with a sponsor, walking through a plan with a supplier, or visiting a project site elsewhere in the region. Afternoons often involve stakeholder updates, budget reviews and forward planning. You will finish the day knowing exactly where every project stands, and you will have the autonomy to organise your time in the way that gets the best results.

About You

• Proven experience managing projects of varying size and complexity.

• Strong planning, organisation and prioritisation skills.

• Confident stakeholder management and excellent communication skills.

• Experience managing budgets and delivering against agreed milestones.

• Familiarity with project methodologies such as PRINCE2, Agile or APM.

• A recognised project management qualification is desirable.

• A calm, solutions-focused approach under pressure, and the enthusiasm to help a growing business improve how it delivers.

What You Can Expect

• A permanent position with a growing organisation where your work will be visible and valued.

• Genuine opportunities for career progression as the project function expands.

• A supportive, collaborative team culture that recognises results.

• 28 days' annual leave, including bank holidays.

• A competitive benefits package, discussed in full at interview stage.
