We are currently recruiting for an experienced Project Manager to lead the delivery of large-scale ductwork and ventilation packages on secure environment projects. This is a key role offering long-term opportunity within a growing regional operation.

You will take full responsibility for managing ductwork/ventilation packages from planning through to completion, ensuring works are delivered safely, on time, and to the highest quality standards.

This role sits within an exciting period of growth. Historically, the business has been a highly successful, London-centric contractor, delivering projects outside the capital on a one-off basis.

With the launch of a dedicated Central & North division, the company is now establishing itself as a permanent, multi-regional contractor, with a strong and sustainable pipeline of work across the Midlands and the North.

This creates genuine long-term opportunities for progression, stability, and involvement in a growing regional business unit.

If you’re a driven Project Manager with strong ductwork and ventilation experience, and you’re looking to take ownership of major packages within a growing business, we’d love to hear from you.
