Principal Project Manager

CBRE
Birmingham
Head Office: London

Location: We are open to candidates across England, as this role would involve travelling to our client sites.

As a Project Manager within Turner and Townsend's Principal Delivery team, you will play a key role in delivering projects end-to-end, moving beyond traditional consultancy into true project ownership. You will be part of an integrated delivery team responsible for managing the full lifecycle of projects-from design and procurement through to construction and handover.

This role offers the opportunity to work in a fast-paced, delivery-focused environment where you will directly influence outcomes, drive programme performance, and contribute to commercial success.

Why join us?

  • Be part of a delivery-focused model where you own outcomes, not just process
  • Gain exposure to end-to-end project delivery, including commercial and supply chain management
  • Work within an integrated team environment that enables faster decision-making and real impact
  • Develop a broader, more commercially focused skillset
Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the delivery of construction and fit-out projects from inception through to completion
  • Manage programme, cost, quality, and risk to ensure successful project outcomes
  • Coordinate design, procurement, and construction activities within an integrated delivery model
  • Act as a key point of contact for clients, ensuring clear communication and alignment throughout the project lifecycle
  • Manage contractor and supplier performance, driving accountability and high standards of delivery
  • Support procurement strategies, including engagement with supply chain partners
  • Identify and mitigate project risks, ensuring proactive issue resolution
  • Ensure projects are delivered in line with contractual obligations, timelines, and budget expectations
  • Contribute to continuous improvement and standardisation across project delivery
Skills & Experience

  • Proven experience in project management within construction, ideally in commercial office fit-out or similar sectors
  • Strong understanding of the full project lifecycle, including design, procurement, and construction delivery
  • Demonstrated commercial awareness, including budget management and cost control
  • Experience managing contractors and working with supply chains
  • Ability to manage risk, make decisions, and operate effectively in fast-paced environments
  • Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills
  • Proactive, organised, and solutions-focused approach
Qualifications

  • Degree-qualified in construction, project management, or a related discipline
  • Working towards or holding a professional accreditation (e.g. RICS, APM, or similar) is desirable
Disclaimer:

Please be advised that effective January 1, 2025, CBRE Project Management and Turner &Townsend were consolidated into a single global business entity. As a candidate applying for a position, you should be aware that while your initial employment may be with CBRE GWS, you will subsequently transfer directly to Turner & Townsend at a date to be determined.
