Senior Construction Project Manager
Waverley Court

Salary: £54,476 - £65,184
Hours: 36 per week

The City of Edinburgh Council is leading one of the most ambitious new build housing programmes in the country. Delivery of new affordable homes is a key action within Edinburgh's Housing Emergency Action Plan.

An opportunity has arisen for a suitably experienced Senior Construction Project Manager to join the Development & Regeneration team and help lead and deliver key projects and programmes of work. We are not only building new homes, we are also creating new places.

We are looking for experience of delivering major capital building or housing-led regeneration projects and programmes. You will be expected to have excellent knowledge of the full development lifecycle including construction, statutory approvals, development finance and procurement as well the ability to work in partnership with Council colleagues, local communities and other stakeholders to provide a strong communication and engagement approach. You will need the expertise to appoint and confidently manage design teams, project managers and other consultants.

In addition to a construction-related qualification, you will have demonstrable experience of working at a senior level to lead projects on time and within budget, taking ownership to drive delivery. The ideal candidate will enjoy new opportunities and challenges and have the skills and motivation to help create new places through housing-led regeneration.

If you have the skills and experience outlined above, as well as the drive and the enthusiasm to deliver significant projects for the public sector, we look forward to hearing from you.

We're committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included and able to be their best at work, and we recognise the benefits that a diverse workforce with different values, beliefs, experience, and backgrounds brings to us as an organisation.

As part of our goal to improve our organisational culture and create a great place to work together for the people of Edinburgh, we want to make sure that we're bringing the best people into our roles, not just in their skills and experience but also in their approach to work.

To help achieve this, we're changing the way we interview and assess candidates by moving from a competency-based interview approach to a behavioural and technical (skills for the job) based approach. This new way of interviewing will allow us to assess how you think and how you would bring Our Behaviours of Respect, Integrity and Flexibility into your ways of working.

You can find out more on Our Behaviours web page Our Behaviours - The City of Edinburgh Council

Our salary range typically reflects the initial starting salary and annually increases until it reaches the top of the range.

Happy to talk flexible working.
