Project Manager | Main Contractor | North East | £55k - £60k + Package
We’re working with a well-established main contractor to appoint an experienced Project Manager to take full ownership of a new build retail scheme in the North East.
This is a key role within the business, requiring a strong all-rounder who can take a project from through to delivery and handover. The initial scheme is a retail development, with a clear pipeline of follow-on work in the region, offering long-term continuity for the right individual.

- Managing programme, budgets, and overall project performance
- Leading site teams, including Site Managers and subcontractors
- Ensuring works are delivered safely, on time, and to required quality standards
- Acting as the main point of contact for clients and consultants
- Driving progress and resolving any issues across the project lifecycle
- Overseeing procurement, logistics, and resource planning
- Managing reporting, project updates, and stakeholder communication
- Leading handover, snagging, and final account stages
What You Will Need;
- Proven experience operating as a Project Manager within a main contractor environment
- Strong track record delivering new build projects through to completion
- Experience within retail or commercial sectors desirable
- Ability to manage projects holistically, beyond day-to-day site activity
- Strong commercial awareness and programme management skills
- Excellent communication and leadership ability
- SMSTS, CSCS and First Aid as a minimum
Why Apply?
- Opportunity to take full ownership of a new build retail project
- Clear pipeline of follow-on work in the North East
- Work with a stable and growing contractor
- Role offering real autonomy and responsibility
