CSA Project Manager

CSA Project Manager

Job Summary

Our client is a multidisciplinary engineering and project management consultancy delivering complex projects across a range of sectors, with particular expertise in highly regulated industrial and pharmaceutical environments. They work across the full project lifecycle, bringing together architectural, civil and structural, and mechanical and electrical disciplines to deliver coordinated and commercially controlled projects.

They are now seeking an experienced CSA Project Manager to join their team. This role would suit a Civil/Structural Engineer or Architect who is looking to move further into project management, with a focus on leading multidisciplinary projects rather than undertaking detailed design.
