As part of the Council’s drive to improve services and facilities across the City, we are looking to recruit a dynamic, client‑focused and personable Project Manager to join our in‑house team managing and delivering property building projects for the Council.

You will be part of a growing team within the in‑house project management and multi‑discipline design service for the Council. You will be responsible for managing the delivery of high‑quality buildings as well as overseeing the delivery by external consulting teams.

CEC is leading the way for the public sector in the adoption of low and zero carbon technologies. CEC has adopted Passiv Haus as the default standard for all its new build projects and is developing a carbon‑focused approach for the large number of up and coming retrofit refurbishment projects. This leads to a portfolio of interesting and market‑leading projects requiring high levels of technical understanding.

• Hold a BSc or equivalent degree qualification in Construction Project Management and full membership of a related professional body such as APM, CIOB, RICS or similar.
• Proven experience in construction project management of projects of varying size and complexity up to a value of £100m, as well as a proven record and ability of working as part of a professional project delivery team.
• Responsibility for delivery of multiple individual capital projects or programmes either directly led or through management of external delivery teams.
• Proficient experience and working knowledge in MS Office and MS Project. Understanding of Passive Haus / EnerPHit design would also be an advantage.
• Good communication skills both written and verbally and good analytical skills in numeracy.
• Presentable, with a positive attitude and outlook towards the Council.

We are committed to a diverse and inclusive workforce where everyone feels valued and able to be their best. We particularly encourage applications from women for senior roles, as well as people from minority ethnic backgrounds, people with disabilities or neurodivergent people, care‑experienced people, carers and LGBT+ people across all levels of the organisation, all of whom are currently underrepresented. All applicants will be considered fairly based on skills and experience.

Disabled and care‑experienced applicants who meet the minimum job criteria will be guaranteed an interview.
