Project management explained  

A project manager is responsible for overseeing all stages of the construction process. This includes managing timelines and budgets, working closely with architects and subcontractors, ensuring compliance with safety and legal requirements, and responding to any delays or emergencies.

No two days are the same in this role – and while the responsibility is significant, so too is the reward. You’ll help shape the future of the built environment, contributing to projects that will be used by thousands of people and meeting the evolving needs of the public.

In an industry where planning is crucial and deadlines are tight, construction project managers must possess a specific set of skills. From leadership and adaptability to organisation and financial acumen, you’ll need to ensure every project is completed on time, within budget and to the highest standards.
