Your new role
An exciting opportunity for an experienced Senior Project Manager or an established Contracts Manager ready to take the next step in their career.
In this role you will take full ownership of delivering high-quality commercial fit-out projects, ensuring predictable outcomes across programme, quality, safety, client experience, and commercial performance. Beyond project delivery, you’ll play a key role in strengthening how projects are run—improving consistency, governance, and commercial control across multiple live projects.

Over time, your remit will expand beyond individual projects into portfolio-level oversight, supporting other Project Managers and raising overall delivery performance. This creates a clear pathway into Contracts Manager and potentially senior leadership, with real influence over how the business delivers and grows.
