Cardiff's construction sector is in the middle of a genuine upswing, with regeneration schemes and commercial developments reshaping the city and the wider South Wales region. The company behind this Capital Projects Manager vacancy is an established SME in Property & Construction, one that's grown steadily and now needs someone who can take ownership of capital works from planning through to handover.
This isn't a role where you'll be shadowing decisions. You'll be making them.

- Running procurement processes for materials, subcontractors and professional services
- Monitoring project timelines and adjusting resourcing when schedules slip
- Ensuring health and safety compliance across every site under your remit
- Reporting project status and financial performance to senior management on a regular cycle
- Solid experience managing capital projects within Property & Construction, ideally at a mid-level with clear examples of delivery
- Working knowledge of construction contracts (JCT or NEC experience is a strong plus)
- Comfortable reading budgets and financial reports without needing everything translated for you
- Sharp communication skills. You'll be the person contractors, clients and directors all need to trust
- A methodical approach to risk and problem‑solving under pressure
- Relevant qualification in construction management, quantity surveying or a related field
- Salary of £36,000 to £51,500, depending on experience
- Bonus scheme tied to project performance
- Private medical insurance and pension contribution
- Generous annual leave with flexible working options
- Office-based role in Cardiff, working alongside an experienced project team
