About the role
A well-established commercial shopfitting company delivering retail and hospitality projects is looking for an experienced Senior Project Manager to take full ownership of project delivery, from contract award through to completion.
Sitting between the directors and the delivery team, you’ll take the day-to-day project management workload off the directors’ plates while maintaining the quality, service and attention to detail our clients expect. You’ll have the authority to run your projects, direct your team and make the calls that keep jobs moving.
What You’ll Be Doing Day to day,
You’ll manage 2-3 projects concurrently and lead a team of approximately 12, including Carpenters, Site Managers and Contract Administrators.
The directors will remain involved in major commercial decisions, key client relationships and overall business direction. You’ll have the authority to manage day-to-day delivery, direct staff and subcontractors, and make routine project decisions. Major cost, contract, programme and client issues will still be escalated to the directors.
Apply with your resume, or get in touch with Sophia from Design and Build Recruitment for a confidential conversation.
