What You’ll Do:

• Research and assess upcoming projects, defining scope, impact, budgets, and timescales.
• Lead multi-disciplinary teams (contractors, consultants, internal stakeholders) to deliver projects on time and to standard.
• Manage reactive works: assess damage, ensure immediate safety, prepare scopes and costs, oversee repairs, handle invoices, and liaise with insurers.
• Support our asbestos management programme – arrange surveys, carry out annual condition checks, action findings, and maintain the Asbestos Register.
• Ensure full compliance with CDM 2015, health & safety legislation, and all statutory requirements.
• Produce and maintain key project documents (programmes, risk registers, product registers), track budgets (typical projects up to £250k), and provide accurate forecasts.
• Work closely with facility managers and stakeholders to support smart decisions and continuous improvement.

What You’ll Bring:

• Degree in Project Management or 2+ years’ relevant project/construction management experience.
• Recognised Health & Safety qualification and solid knowledge of CDM 2015.
• Proven track record leading project delivery and managing contractors, consultants, and suppliers for best value and compliance.
• Strong procurement and contract management experience.
• Excellent communication skills – clear reporting, stakeholder engagement, and professional representation.
• Ability to analyse data, spot issues early, and make sound decisions under pressure.
• Full UK driving licence (essential for travel between venues)

Desired Qualifications: In addition to the above, qualifications in asbestos monitoring (including P405 certification), Prince2 Foundation & Practitioner, and PASMA certification would be advantageous.

You’ll be based at Carron Pl, Leith, with regular travel to sites for meetings, inspections, and site reviews.

In return, we offer: 

• Generous holiday allowance (32 days, rising with service up to 40 days
• Company pension (with employee contributions matched up to 12%)
• Flexible working hours
• Paid sick leave
• Free membership across all our centres with access to fitness classes, gyms, and swimming pools
