Senior Project Manager

Hybrid Role | London & Midlands Region | High-Security Environment

Are you an experienced project professional looking for an opportunity to shape the delivery of important projects within a complex and highly regulated environment?

Mitie is seeking a Senior Project Manager to join a key strategic account, helping to deliver a varied portfolio of projects from initial concept through to completion. This hybrid role supports projects primarily across London, with some activity extending across the Midlands-to-London region. While much of the role can be carried out through a blend of home and office-based working, travel to client sites will be required. Depending on project activity and business needs, site attendance is typically expected several times each month.

Working closely with the Account Manager, project teams and client stakeholders, you will play a key role in ensuring projects are delivered safely, effectively and in line with agreed objectives. The role offers the opportunity to build strong relationships, support continuous improvement and contribute to the development of a growing project management function.

About the Role

This is a varied position that combines project delivery, stakeholder engagement and team leadership. You'll help coordinate multiple projects within the account, supporting successful outcomes while maintaining high standards of governance, safety and compliance.

Key responsibilities include:

• Managing projects throughout the full lifecycle, from planning and mobilisation through to handover and close-out.
• Coordinating project scope, resources, schedules, risks and change control activities.
• Monitoring budgets, forecasts and financial performance to support effective project delivery.
• Maintaining project documentation and ensuring compliance with client and Mitie governance requirements.
• Building positive and trusted relationships with clients, colleagues and supply chain partners.
• Supporting the identification of future project opportunities across the account.

Working with Clients and Stakeholders

Strong relationships are central to this role. You'll work with a range of stakeholders across the client organisation, Mitie teams and external partners to ensure projects remain aligned with business needs and expectations.

You'll also:

• Communicate project updates, risks and key decisions clearly and proactively.
• Prepare and present monthly project reports covering progress, financial performance, risk, safety and key metrics.
• Support effective decision-making through accurate and timely reporting.
• Ensure all activities meet contractual, governance and security requirements.

Safety, Compliance and Security

Safety and compliance remain at the heart of everything we do. This role requires a considered and responsible approach to risk management, health and safety, and security standards.

You'll be responsible for:

• Supporting a positive safety culture across all project activities.
• Ensuring compliance with CDM regulations, HSE requirements and safe systems of work.
• Overseeing risk assessments, method statements and project safety controls.
• Maintaining the confidentiality, behaviours and security standards expected within a high-security environment.
