Regional Project Manager - North East

As a Regional Project Manager, you'll manage a portfolio of public safety and subsidence projects across the North East of England and occasionally Cumbria.

You'll oversee investigations, remediation works and contractor performance, ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently and provide value for money. You'll work closely with colleagues, customers, local authorities and specialist suppliers to develop practical solutions that protect communities affected by mining legacy issues.

Our team also plays a vital role in responding to incidents such as ground instability, property damage and mining-related hazards. You may be required to support emergency response activity, helping to coordinate expertise, resources and decision-making when rapid action is needed.

This is a varied and rewarding role that combines project delivery, stakeholder engagement, site-based activity and problem solving.

We know that great candidates don't always meet every requirement listed in a job description. If your experience looks a little different from what we've described, but you believe you have the skills and potential to succeed, we'd encourage you to apply.
