Salary: Competitive Salary + car / allowance + performance-related bonus + a range of benefits to support your finances, wellbeing and family.

Working Pattern: Permanent | Full Time | Flexible First options available

The role

We’re looking for a Regional Project Manager to lead, mentor and develop a team of Project Managers and Engineers, fostering a high-performance culture and support their professional growth. We are looking for exceptional people who can bring big ideas, new skills and innovative thinking to help us build a world that's more sustainable for you, your family, and the community you live in. 

You will

• Oversee and manage a portfolio of projects across London and South East England, ensuring delivery on time, within budget and to the highest quality standards.
• Take accountability for the financial performance of the project portfolio, managing budgets, margins and commercial reporting in line with Company requirements.
• Identify and mitigate risks across the project portfolio, intervening to resolve issues and implementing contingency plans where necessary.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, contractors and end users, acting as the senior point of contact for escalations and ensuring contractual obligations are met.
• Ensure all projects comply with SHE (Safety, Health & Environment) regulations and company safety standards, demonstrating visible leadership in safety culture.

You have

• A proven track record in project management, ideally gained within construction, HVAC, lighting, building services or a related sector - we value relevant experience over a specific technical background.
• A formal qualification in project management (such as APM, PRINCE2 or equivalent) is desirable, though demonstrable experience of successfully delivering complex projects will be equally considered.
• Experience of leading and managing teams, with the ability to inspire, coach and hold people accountable to deliver results.
• Strong commercial and financial acumen, with experience managing project budgets, margins and programme performance.
• An understanding of Building Management Systems (BMS) would be advantageous, though you do not need to be technically proficient - what matters is the ability to lead the team that delivers them.
