Project Delivery Manager Birmingham, England
Job description
Project Delivery Manager
About Vanti
At Vanti, we’re not satisfied with how buildings work. We’re on a mission to drive positive change in how buildings are designed, built and operated for the benefit of people who interact with them and for the betterment of our planet.
This isn’t some vaporous claim or goal, either. We’re now an accredited B-Corp with a legal commitment to driving systems change.
We don’t put the shackles on creativity. We actively encourage inclusive, outside-the-box thinking to deliver innovative solutions to complex challenges. We’re striving to lead the way in educating the industries we serve on best practice for future generations.
At Vanti, no one day is the same. We don’t work on projects which require templated, one-size fits all cookie-cutter solutions which inhibit positive systems change.
You could be delivering fully integrated smart buildings for blue-chip clients such as Informa, Citi Group or Allianz or conducting critical research on the future of electric flying vehicles and the security and consumption of the energy grid for electric cars.
We realise that to achieve our ambitions we need talented people and a first-class working environment which contributes to everyone’s success. As well as a range of company-wide benefits we provide flexibility for individuals via our agile working policy, so you can reach your potential and deliver your best work around the challenges of everyday life.
We’d love you to join our mission and help us on our journey.

We have a rough idea in mind of what salaries we pay for certain types of roles based on current team members and market rate (hence the range we’ve advertised for this role), but we prefer to have conversations with candidates and discuss what they’re looking for.
