Job DescriptionTitle: Senior Project Manager
Reporting to: Head of Projects
Location: Munich

Shape the Future of Project Management! As a Senior Project Manager within Turner and Townsend's Principal Delivery team, you will play a key role in delivering projects end-to-end, moving beyond traditional consultancy into true project ownership. You will be part of an integrated delivery team responsible for managing the full lifecycle of projects—from design and procurement through to construction and handover.
This role offers the opportunity to work in a fast-paced, delivery-focused environment where you will directly influence outcomes, drive programme performance, and contribute to commercial success.
The Senior Project Manager is responsible for leading and delivering construction, fit-out, refurbishment, and workplace projects with individual project values of up to €2M. The role serves as the primary interface between the client, project stakeholders, and delivery teams, ensuring projects are executed efficiently, safely, and in accordance with agreed objectives. In addition to managing individual projects, the Project Manager Lead is responsible for maintaining oversight of the client's project portfolio through dedicated project trackers, providing accurate reporting, clear visibility of project status, and effective prioritisation of activities across all assignments.
Your main mission will be to:
- Lead projects from initiation through design, procurement, construction, commissioning, and final handover.
- Manage projects with values up to €2M, ensuring delivery within approved scope, budget, schedule, and quality requirements.
- Serve as the primary point of contact for clients and key stakeholders.
- Develop and maintain project execution plans, delivery strategies, schedules, budgets, and risk registers.
- Manage the client's project portfolio tracker, ensuring all projects, actions, milestones, risks, budgets, and key dates are accurately monitored and reported.
- Provide regular project and portfolio reporting, including dashboards, status updates, financial summaries, and executive presentations.
- Coordinate all project stakeholders, including consultants, contractors, suppliers, Facility Management teams, landlords, and client representatives.
- Lead procurement activities, including tendering, contractor selection, bid evaluation, contract negotiations, and contract administration.
- Monitor project financial performance through budgeting, forecasting, cost control, change management, invoicing, and final account reconciliation.
- Participate in pre-construction activities, including constructability reviews, risk assessments, sequencing strategies, and mitigation planning.
- Oversee project delivery and construction activities to ensure compliance with project objectives, technical specifications, and contractual requirements.
- Facilitate project governance through regular progress meetings, stakeholder workshops, and decision-making forums.
- Proactively identify risks, constraints, and opportunities, implementing corrective actions where required.
- Ensure compliance with applicable Health, Safety, Environment, and Quality (HSEQ) requirements, CBRE standards, and client procedures.
- Manage project close-out activities, including snagging, testing and commissioning follow-up, practical completion, handover documentation, and warranty management.
- Establish and maintain strong working relationships with clients, contractors, consultants, and internal teams. Support continuous improvement initiatives and contribute to the development of project management best practices.
- Mentor and support junior project management resources when required.
This role requires a high degree of autonomy. You will be responsible for managing your projects from start to finish, from initial planning to final delivery, with minimal supervision. Your ability to take initiative, solve problems, and make decisions independently will be key to your success.
Qualifications- Minimum of 7 years proven Project Management experience in an M&E, FM construction or critical environment
- Experience delivering multi million pound projects
- Proven experience of running a P&L
- Demonstrable evidence of having managed a team
