But we’re always looking for new talent to take the next step with us. For bright minds who enjoy meaningful work and want to push our pioneering spirit further. For individuals who can take the initiative but work well within a team.

The role:

Fugro is experiencing exciting growth and expansion, and we are on the lookout for an ambitious and motivated Senior Project Manager to join our Nearshore Team at the Falmouth, Cornwall Hub. Our Nearshore Team delivers geotechnical ground investigation projects across the UK and Europe, focusing on renewable and infrastructure industries.

As a driven Senior Project Manager, you will be responsible for the preparation, delivery, and management of nearshore site investigation projects from tender award to final delivery. Under the supervision of the Project Delivery Manager, you will either work as part of a project team or manage your own projects. You will oversee the delivery phase, supervising Nearshore drill teams and engineers on exciting projects both in the UK and abroad, with a mix of on-site and office-based work. Additionally, you will ensure adherence to Health & Safety standards set by Fugro and our clients, drafting method statements, risk assessments, and lift plans to facilitate efficient and safe operations, fostering a positive health and safety culture.

Your proven success in working collaboratively with peers, colleagues, and partners will positively impact business performance. You will possess excellent communication skills, with the ability to persuade and negotiate effectively.
