Your new role
About the role
As a Senior Project manager you will be the project lead on key projects for the region. Involved from the preconstruction phase of projects you will develop project delivery strategies including programming, logistics, methodologies and scope of work.

It is expected that you will display an absolute focus on construction site health, safety and environmental performance at all times and lead by example in this regard. Nothing is so important that you will not ensure that it is done safely.

About you
You’ll have previous leadership experience in the construction industry, along with a degree in a built environment discipline or relevant trade expertise. Ability to supervise projects from inception to completion, whilst exemplifying our commitment to Health & Safety, and ensuring quality and best practice will be second nature to you. Above all, you’ll be a confident and credible communicator, who can explain complex issues to sub-contractors and clients at all levels of business.
Previous experience leading refurbishment projects and working on buildings with listed status is preferred.
What’s in it for me
Working the Robertson Way
Joining us isn’t just about seeing things our way. It’s also about working the Robertson Way too, by bringing our 5 guiding principles to life. Here’s what that means…
We listen
Listening enables us to work positively and collaboratively, and gives customers, partners and colleagues the assurance that their voices are always heard.
We are professional
Our mix of prudence and diligence, care and attention to detail means that our customers have certainty and assurance in everything we do and trust us to deliver.
We take responsibility
Each of us is accountable for what we do. From the smallest detail to team safety and caring for our communities and the environment, we know that everything matters.
We are determined to succeed
Every challenge is an opportunity. We work collaboratively and focus on safety, productivity and quality to find solutions we can be proud of and that provide a positive, lasting benefit.
We are one team
We work as one - in our teams and partnerships, and with our customers. We respect each contribution, and everyone stands up to be counted. We are Team Robertson.
In return, we offer a wide range of rewards and benefits, including 33 days annual leave, a great pension and valuable life assurance. What’s more, you’ll also be able to make the most of a range of brilliant extras. These include our Cycle to Work Scheme, discounts at restaurants and cinemas with a Taste Card, annual flu vaccine, and Health & Wellbeing and Life Management Support for you and your family.
We also have a brilliant smarter working policy, too. That means many of our office-based people and some of our site-based people are able to either work from home or as part of our hybrid model.
When it comes to diversity and inclusion, we see things differently at Robertson. That’s why we’re working hard to create an environment where everyone can feel welcome, and where we can all be ourselves. We encourage applications from people of all races, ages, genders, religions, sexual orientations and more - so whoever you are, we hope you’ll see things our way, too.
