Are you an experienced Project Manager based in Berkshire or the Thames Valley looking to lead high-quality main contracting builds without the brutal travel of a London commute?
We are partnering with an established, highly respected Regional Main Contractor to recruit a standalone Project Manager to deliver commercial, educational, higher-education, and specialist refurbishment schemes across Berkshire, Oxfordshire, and the M4 corridor.
Operating across project values from £1M up to £10M , this role will see you take full operational ownership of projects from pre-construction through groundworks, structural alterations, envelope, and high-spec fit-out to final handover.
Key Responsibilities:
Full Site Ownership: Take overall operational, safety, and client-facing responsibility as the lead Project Manager on standalone schemes up to £10M.
Programme Execution: Drive site progress using Asta Powerproject , coordinating internal site management teams, subcontractors, and consultants.
Client & Design Liaison: Manage relationships with client teams, architects, and quantity surveyors on JCT Design & Build and traditional contracts.
Quality & H&S: Maintain rigorous health and safety standards, site logistics, and quality assurance in line with regional main contracting best practices.
What You Need:
Main Contractor Background: Proven experience as a #1 Project Manager or Senior Site Manager running standalone schemes (£2M-£10M) for a recognised regional main contractor.
Sector Experience: Strong track record delivering commercial, education, industrial, or high-spec refurbishments.
Location: Based within daily commuting distance of Reading / West Berkshire (schemes typically fall within a 45-minute drive of the M4 corridor).
Tickets & Systems: CSCS Black Card, SMSTS, First Aid, and proficiency in Asta Powerproject. Degree or HND in Construction Management is preferred.
What's on Offer:

Excellent local work/life balance with regional sites centered around Berkshire and Oxfordshire.
Strong pipeline of repeat-business commercial and framework projects.
