Overview

Shape the places that matter. Lead projects that define the future.

At AtkinsRéalis, we're redefining how complex projects are delivered across the built environment—bringing together technical excellence, digital innovation, and a collaborative mindset. Our Project & Programme Management team in Buildings & Places plays a central role in delivering some of the UK's most high-profile and impactful developments.

We're looking for an experienced Project Manager to join our London team—someone currently operating within a consultancy environment, confident in leading projects and client relationships, and ready to step into a role with greater influence, responsibility, and visibility.

The Opportunity

You'll join a high-performing, growing team delivering a diverse portfolio of projects across sectors such as commercial real estate, education, public sector, heritage, and mixed-use development.

This role is ideal for a Project Manager who enjoys being at the centre of delivery—owning projects from inception through to completion, engaging directly with clients, and leading multidisciplinary teams to achieve successful outcomes.

Your role

  • Leading the delivery of projects across the full lifecycle—from business case and procurement through to construction and handover
  • Acting as a primary point of contact for clients, building trusted, long-term relationships
  • Managing programme, cost, risk, and change control processes, ensuring robust project governance
  • Leading multidisciplinary teams, including consultants and contractors, to achieve high-quality outcomes
  • Chairing project meetings, including risk workshops and governance forums
  • Overseeing procurement strategies and administering contracts (e.g. JCT, NEC)
  • Monitoring project performance, identifying risks and opportunities, and driving proactive solutions
  • Supporting account management activities, including reporting, client updates, and pipeline development
  • Contributing to business development—identifying opportunities for repeat work and promoting AtkinsRéalis' capabilities
  • Supporting and mentoring Assistant Project Managers and junior team members
