Project Manager Construction

Project Manager – Super-Prime Heritage Residential

Location: Wimbledon – South West London

Salary: £80,000 – £100,000 + package

Type: Permanent | Full-time

A rare chance to take full ownership of one of London's most characterful heritage restorations. A Grade II* listed residence in South West London – Jacobean in origin with layers of Georgian and Victorian history, is undergoing a full restoration alongside a new two-storey basement. We're looking for an experienced Project Manager to lead it end to end – modernising the home sensitively while protecting everything that gives it its character.

This is a single-project, career-defining role for a Project Manager who reports directly to the principal and owns the programme, the budget and the standard.

As Project Manager, you will:

* Lead the project from pre-construction through to handover

* Manage complex structural and heritage works, including the two-storey basement

* Coordinate architects, structural engineers, interior designers and specialist trades

* Integrate modern services and structural interventions discreetly, with no impact on the building's character

* Deliver world-class finishes and bespoke detailing to private-client standards

* Liaise with the local authority and conservation bodies on listed-building compliance

* Keep tight control of budget and programme under JCT or bespoke contracts

* Act as the day-to-day site leader and main client point of contact

You'll need

* 10+ years as a Project Manager in prime/super-prime London residential

* Proven delivery on heritage refurbishments and complex basements (£10m+)

* Experience as a Project Manager working directly with UHNW private clients

* Strong working knowledge of Georgian, Palladian and Victorian styles

* Confidence dealing with Historic England, conservation officers and planning

* Solid commercial and contract management (JCT, bespoke)

* Comfort across both traditional craft (lime plaster, timber sashes) and modern methods

* RICS, CIOB or APM preferred; SPAB or IHBC heritage training a strong plus

On offer

* £80,000–£100,000 depending on experience

* Discretionary performance-related bonus

* A genuinely iconic project to put your name to
