Senior Project Manager required by an established fit-out contractor for upcoming projects

Your new company

Your new company is a leading construction contractor renowned for delivering high-end fit-out and new-build projects across sectors such as hospitality, commercial, residential, and marine. The company specialises in crafting luxurious, bespoke spaces, including high-end hotels, premium retail environments, exclusive residences, and cruise ship interiors, with a focus on precision, innovation, and sustainability. With a global portfolio of award-winning projects, the organisation fosters a collaborative, high-performance culture, empowering its teams to deliver exceptional results while prioritising safety, quality, and client satisfaction.

Your new role

As a Senior Project Manager, you will be reporting to the Contracts Director. You will lead the delivery of complex fit-out and new build projects, ensuring they are completed safely, on time, within budget, and to the client’s exacting standards. Your key responsibilities will include:

  • Project Planning & Execution: Develop and implement comprehensive project plans, including schedules, resource allocation, and budgets. Monitor progress using tools like timeslice reports, proactively addressing delays and ensuring alignment with contractual obligations.
  • Quality & Compliance: Oversee the implementation of Control Quality Plans and Inspection & Test Plans (ITPs) to meet client specifications. Maintain up-to-date site documentation, conduct risk assessments, and ensure compliance with environmental, health, and safety regulations.
  • Resource & Team Management: Lead multidisciplinary teams, including site staff, subcontractors, and internal departments (e.g., design and factory teams). Set clear performance targets, mentor junior team members, and foster a culture of high performance and collaboration.
  • Client & Stakeholder Engagement: Serve as the primary point of contact for clients, providing regular updates, resolving issues promptly, and building strong relationships to encourage repeat business and referrals.
  • Commercial & Contractual Oversight: Monitor financial performance using Cost Value Reports, participate in value engineering to enhance profitability, and maintain accurate records to protect the company’s contractual position.
  • Operational Excellence: Uphold company Operations and Safety Management Procedures, implement robust site administration systems, and support bid and tender processes as needed.
  • Additional Duties: Undertake other responsibilities as directed by senior management, leveraging your expertise to contribute to the company’s success.

You will split your time between office-based planning and on-site management, with travel, including overnight stays across the UK and potentially internationally, as required.

  • Extensive project management experience in new build and high-end fit-out projects, ideally in the hospitality, commercial, residential, or marine sectors.
  • A third-level qualification in construction management, civil engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience in a similar project management role.
  • Principal contractor experience with Construction Design and Management (CDM) regulations.
  • Exceptional leadership, organisational, negotiation, and communication skills to motivate multidisciplinary teams and build strong client relationships.
  • Strong commercial acumen, cost awareness, and proficiency in IT and project management software (e.g., Procore, Microsoft Project, or similar).
  • Ability to plan and manage workloads to meet project milestones under tight deadlines.
  • Willingness to travel, including overnight stays across the UK, with a valid driver’s licence.
  • Preferred: A trades background with extensive management experience and/or a CSCS/CSR Managers card (or equivalent).
  • Key competencies: Accuracy, quality consciousness, professionalism, commitment, and a collaborative approach to stakeholder relationships.
