The Opportunity

We’re recruiting a Senior Project Manager to take a leading role on a high-profile, large-scale infrastructure project in Bridgwater, Somerset. This is a critical position overseeing a major mechanical installation package valued at approximately £750m, moving into the commissioning phase.

This role requires a hands-on, delivery-focused leader who can step into a complex environment, drive progress, and manage a politically sensitive contract with significant commercial and stakeholder challenges.

Key Responsibilities:

  * Lead the full lifecycle delivery of a major mechanical/M&E contract package

  * Drive performance across engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning

  * Manage programme delivery to safety, quality, cost, and schedule targets

  * Oversee contract administration, including change, risk, and commercial discussions

  * Lead and coordinate a multi-disciplinary team (approx. 5 direct + matrix team)

  * Maintain and manage detailed schedules (L3/L4) aligned with overall programme

  * Apply Earned Value Management (EVM) principles

  * Work closely with suppliers and stakeholders to resolve issues and improve performance

  * Ensure compliance with contractual frameworks (NEC/FIDIC)

  * Drive a proactive, “roll your sleeves up” approach to delivery

What We’re Looking For:

  * Proven experience as a Senior Project Manager on large, complex construction or infrastructure projects

  * Strong background in Mechanical Installation (essential)

  * Experience in M&E delivery, ideally with turbine systems (nuclear or gas preferred)

  * Demonstrated success managing high-value contracts (£100m+)

  * Strong commercial acumen with experience handling change and contractor performance issues

  * Experience working within regulated environments (e.g. energy, infrastructure, heavy industry)

  * Working knowledge of NEC and/or FIDIC contracts

  * Confident stakeholder manager with excellent communication skills

  * Ability to lead across multiple disciplines and interfaces

The Role:

  * Site-based position with flexibility (minimum 3 days/week on site)

  * Highly collaborative environment with strong commercial and project controls support

Why Apply?

  * Be part of a nationally significant infrastructure programme

  * Take ownership of a major contract at a critical delivery stage

  * Work in a fast-paced, high-impact role where your expertise will directly influence outcomes
