Project Manager

About the Role

We’re looking for an experienced Project Manager to take full, autonomous ownership of our system installations.

This is an office-based role running several smaller projects at the same time – not a site-based construction role managing one large build. Working from your desk, you take each job end to end: quoting, surveying, ordering materials, coordinating engineers, the workshop and site to schedule the works in, and issuing completion documents to the customer once the job is done.

Reporting to our Head of Installations, you’ll act as the main client contact throughout and carry full commercial accountability for the work you deliver. This is a hands-on, senior delivery role – not a people-management position. It’s suited to someone who can hit the ground running with minimal supervision, bring sound technical and commercial judgement to complex jobs, and set the standard for best-in-class delivery.

What You’ll Do • Project Delivery take end-to-end ownership of several smaller installation projects running at once, from initial enquiry and survey through to post-installation handover and issuing completion documents to the customer. Act as the main client contact throughout, ensuring effective coordination and delivery at every stage. • Technical Planning Produce technical drawings, specifications, and accurate quotes, applying sound technical judgement to complex and non-standard installations. • Procurement & Materials Management Procure and manage materials, ensuring alignment with project timelines and requirements. • Scheduling & Coordination Coordinate engineers, the workshop, subcontractors and site access – booking works in to keep several jobs moving in parallel. • Commercial Control Manage project budgets, variations, and documentation to ensure commercial control and project transparency. Experience and track record • Industry experience: Several years running a high volume of smaller installation, fitout or maintenance jobs end-to-end from an office or coordination base – for example glazing, shopfitting or M&E. This is not a role for running a single large construction project on site. • Demonstrable track record of running multiple concurrent projects and owning their commercials – budgets, variations, and final accounts. • Confident with hands-on quoting, materials procurement, and producing and reading technical drawings and specifications. • Comfortable operating autonomously as the client-facing lead, with minimal supervision. • Familiarity with project or job-management software (e.g. Simpro) and CAD / technical drawing tools.

Personal attributes • You’re a Problem Solver. You recognise issues, determine key drivers, and make the right trade-offs. • You Push Improvements. You aren't happy with the status quo. You take initiative and drive results. • You’re an Energiser. You have a positive attitude, rise to challenges, and adapt to curveballs. You’re always curious to learn. • You’re a Team Player. You communicate clearly, work collaboratively, and take on feedback.

Working Hours • 37.5 working hours per week • Working hours are typically 09:00 – 17:30 with a 1-hour lunch break, Monday to Friday

What We Offer • £50k base salary plus performance bonus. • Enhanced holiday allowance and paid parental leave. • Opportunities for continuous development and career progression. • A collaborative team culture that values innovation and excellence.

We look forward to seeing your CV
