About the Role

The Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (LCRCA) is looking for a Project Manager (Cladding Remediation) to lead and deliver its Local Remediation Acceleration Plan. This government-backed initiative aims to accelerate the remediation of buildings with unsafe cladding across the city region.

  • Assure the safety of buildings undergoing remediation

  • Identify additional buildings needing remediation beyond government schemes

  • Take enforcement action if voluntary remediation does not progress adequately

The role is primarily based at LCRCA’s Mann Island office in Liverpool, with regular contact at Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service in Bootle, Liverpool, and offers hybrid or remote working flexibility.

This is a 24-month fixed-term position with potential for extension.

• Degree or professional/project management qualifications

• Proven experience managing complex, high-value projects (£20M+) and budgets

• Knowledge of building safety landscape and/or cladding remediation projects

• Experience managing grant funding agreements and associated reporting
