The Opportunity - Why Join the Oxford HEST Team?

We are expanding our Oxford based HEST team (Health, Education, Science & Technology) and are looking for Project Managers and Senior Project Managers to join us at a pivotal time. This is a high performing, close knit team of 25+ professionals across Oxford and London, with a strong culture of collaboration, support, and long term career development. Many team members have been with CPC for over a decade-something that speaks volumes about the environment and opportunities here.

What makes this opportunity stand out

• Access to flagship, career defining projects
• A healthy pipeline of secured work, creating immediate opportunities to step into key projects and make an impact
• Clear progression routes in a growing team

• Healthcare projects, including new hospital developments and NHS estate refurbishments
• Heritage and complex refurbishment projects across Oxford's historic environment
• Government backed science and technology programmes across leading UK campuses

This breadth means you won't be pigeonholed-you'll develop experience across multiple sectors while building genuine depth in HEST delivery.

In this role, you'll take ownership of projects ranging from £5m to £60m+, leading them from inception through to completion. You'll be trusted to

• Lead projects and client relationships
• Coordinate multidisciplinary teams
• Drive delivery on complex, high value schemes
• Play a key role in shaping project outcomes

What We're Looking For

• Experience operating at PM or SPM level within a consultancy/client side environment (essential)
• Proven ability to lead and deliver projects end to end
• Ideally experienced working with both NEC & JCT forms of contract
• Strong stakeholder and client management skills

What's in it for you

• Competitive salary plus performance related bonus
• Private healthcare (including dental and optical cover) for you and your family
• Travel insurance, including winter sports cover
• Hybrid and flexible working to support your lifestyle
• Full support with professional memberships and ongoing development
• Supportive leadership
• Strong pipeline of work
• Opportunity to grow with the business
