As part of the Councils 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 are leading the way for Public sector in the adoption of low and zero carbon technologies. CEC have adopted Passiv Haus as the default standard for all its new build projects and are developing a carbon focussed 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.

You should have a BSc or equivalent degree qualification in Construction Project Management and hold a full membership of a related professional body such as APM, CIOB, RICS or similar.

You should also have 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. The post shall cover all aspects of client facing project management and involve responsibility for delivery of multiple individual capital projects or programmes either directly led or through management of external delivery teams.

You should have proficient experience and working knowledge in MS Office and MS Project. An understanding of Passive Haus / EnerPHit design would also be an advantage. You should have good communication skills both written and verbally and have good analytical skills in numeracy. You should present well and reflect a positive attitude and outlook towards the Council.

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.

As part of our goal to improve organisational culture and create a great place to work together for the people of Edinburgh, we want to make sure we're recruiting the best people. We’re interested not only in your skills and experience but also in your approach to work. Therefore, part of our interview process will be an assessment of how you would bring Our Behaviours of Respect, Integrity and Flexibility into your ways of working.
