Project Manager, Civil Engineering, Regulatory Compliance Specialist

Overview

We are looking for a Project Manager to join our Life Science team in Maccelsfield .

The Project Manager will support the delivery of technically challenging projects within a fast-paced framework environment, with a specific focus on design coordination support, construction look-ahead, project variation management, supply chain coordination and the interface between pre-construction and construction.

A key focus of the role will be to provide a clear and structured construction look-ahead to the operational team. This is an essential part of the duty, ensuring that design information, procurement requirements, technical approvals, client decisions, access constraints, supply chain inputs and project variations are identified early and coordinated before they affect site delivery.

The role will be involved in several projects at the same time and requires a confident, proactive and organised Project Manager who is comfortable working in a multi-project environment. The successful candidate will be able to manage competing priorities, design information, procurement constraints, client requirements and live construction issues concurrently.

The Project Manager will support the Design Manager by coordinating the interface between design, procurement, commercial, supply chain and construction. The role is intended to strengthen design coordination and construction readiness, but it will not replace the Design Manager’s responsibilities or take over the full design management function.

The Project Manager will act as a key point of contact for design-led project variations, technical coordination, construction look-ahead, supply chain design input and buildability issues. The role will ensure that design information, procurement requirements, programme constraints and site delivery requirements are fully coordinated to support smoother progression into construction and effective management of live project issues.

The ideal candidate will have good exposure to M&E works, pharmaceutical environments and GMP requirements, with the ability to understand and manage technical interfaces in a live operational environment.

Preconstruction

• Support the pre-construction process by coordinating design, procurement, commercial and construction inputs.
• Support the Design Manager by helping to identify design gaps, buildability issues, procurement constraints and construction risks before works commence.
  
  Assist with the coordination of project programmes, construction look-aheads, design deliverables and information required schedules.
• Attend design team progress meetings, technical workshops and project coordination meetings as required.
  
  Coordinate with Design Managers, Quantity Surveyors, Planners, Construction Managers and Site Managers to support project readiness before construction start.
• Ensure that key design information required for procurement and construction is identified, tracked and progressed.
• Support the development of the Project Execution Plan, including coordination of design, programme, procurement, HSEQS and construction interfaces.
• Identify long-lead items, supplier design requirements, subcontractor design responsibilities and key approval dates.
• Support the commercial team with early identification of change, scope gaps, assumptions, exclusions and potential project variation items.

Construction & Design Interface

• Support the coordination between pre-construction, design, procurement, commercial and construction teams for allocated projects.
• Provide the operational team with a clear construction look-ahead, identifying design, procurement, technical, supply chain and client decision requirements in advance of planned works.
• Support the Design Manager with coordination of design information required for construction, without replacing the formal design management role.
• Act as a key point of contact for design-led project variations and technical change coordination.
• Prepare, manage and maintain a construction/design look-ahead covering design deliverables, procurement requirements, technical approvals, client decisions and supply chain dependencies.
• Coordinate project variations…
