Project Manager – Super Prime Residential

Salary: £60,000 – £70,000 + Package
Location: Hampshire (Projects across Berkshire & Oxfordshire)

Hays are working with a highly regarded regional contractor specialising in super-prime and high-end residential projects across the South. We're recruiting for an experienced Project Manager to join their team, taking the lead on bespoke private homes typically ranging from £2 million to £8 million.

This is a key hire for the business, aimed at bringing in someone with a proven track record of delivering one-off, design-led residential schemes where quality, coordination and attention to detail are critical.

About the Contractor

This contractor has built a strong reputation across Hampshire, Berkshire and Oxfordshire for delivering bespoke private residences to an exceptional standard. Their work is not volume housing, every project is carefully considered, individually designed and delivered with a clear focus on craftsmanship and finish.

With a secure pipeline of work and repeat private clients, they offer long-term stability, regional projects and a professional, quality-driven environment.

About the Role

You'll take full responsibility for the delivery of super-prime residential projects, overseeing schemes from pre-construction through to completion. Working closely with clients, consultants and a trusted subcontractor base, you'll ensure projects are delivered safely, on programme and to the highest standard.

This role suits a Project Manager who is comfortable working on single, high-spec homes, where managing detail, design coordination and client expectations is just as important as programme delivery.

Key Responsibilities

• Full project management of £2m-£8m high-end residential schemes
• Leading projects from inception through to handover
• Managing site teams, subcontractors and specialist trades
• Overseeing programme, cost control and site delivery
• Ensuring high standards of quality, health & safety and presentation
• Coordinating design, technical information and client requirements
• Acting as the main point of contact for clients and consultants
• Driving projects forward while maintaining attention to detail throughout

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience as a Project Manager within high-end or super-prime residential
• Track record delivering bespoke projects in the £2m-£8m range
• Strong understanding of construction sequencing, finishes and quality control
• Comfortable managing clients and design teams on one-off builds
• Strong leadership, communication and organisational skills
• A detail-driven approach with pride in delivering high-quality projects
• SMSTS, CSCS and First Aid essential

Salary & Benefits

• £60,000 – £70,000 (depending on experience)
• Car allowance
• Pension
• Private healthcare (where applicable)
• Strong pipeline of secured regional work
• Opportunity to deliver high-quality, technically interesting projects
