Your new company
We are seeking an experienced Project Manager to join a busy NHS organisation in Cambridgeshire on a 3 to 6-month contract. This is an excellent opportunity for an individual with strong estates, maintenance, and capital project experience to play a key role in supporting essential improvements across the estate.
Working within the Estates & Facilities team, you will be responsible for overseeing a range of projects from inception to completion-ensuring they are delivered safely, on time, and within budget. Projects will range from minor works to compartmentation surveys, asset surveys, fire doors programmes and other projects up to £1m in value.
The role requires excellent communication, stakeholder engagement, and organisational skills, alongside ideally an understanding of NHS estates standards and compliance requirements.

Your new role
• Lead and manage estates, maintenance, infrastructure, and capital investment projects across the organisation.
• Oversee feasibility, planning, procurement, delivery, and handover activities.
• Coordinate with contractors, suppliers, clinical teams, and other internal stakeholders.
• Ensure projects comply with statutory, regulatory, and NHS-specific standards.
• Monitor budgets, manage risks, and report progress to senior leaders.
• Support strategic estates planning and contribute to long-term development priorities.

What you'll need to succeed
We're looking for a proactive, organised, and solution-focused Project Manager who can hit the ground running and support the delivery of high-impact estates improvements.

• Proven track record in estates or capital project management-ideally within the NHS, public sector, or complex estates environment.
• Strong understanding of building maintenance, compliance, and health & safety.
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills.
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously under tight deadlines.
• RICS, CIOB, Prince2, APM, or equivalent qualification (desirable but not essential).

What you'll get in return
This is a 3 to 6-month contract which may be extended. You'll work across Cambridgeshire, so access to a car and the ability to travel between sites will be important. You'll receive an hourly rate of up to £43.50 Umbrella or £32 PAYE and business mileage at 0.45p for any travel between sites.
