Project Manager

Seeking an experienced Project Manager with high end property refurbishment experience.
Overview
We are a rapidly growing, high-end construction firm seeking an experienced and proactive Project Manager to oversee multiple design-led projects. This role requires strong leadership, excellent communication skills, and the ability to operate confidently across sites, design teams, subcontractors, and clients. We value optimism, professionalism, and a forward-thinking approach—qualities that are essential for thriving within our fast-paced environment.
Key Responsibilities
*
Site Leadership: Confidently manage and communicate with on-site teams, ensuring smooth daily operations and maintaining high standards of workmanship.
*
Design Interpretation: Demonstrate strong ability to understand and interpret complex design specifications and ensure they are executed accurately.
*
High-End Project Delivery: Lead high-quality, design-led construction projects within premium market sectors.
*
Programme Management: Produce detailed Gantt charts using provided labour data and available resources, ensuring timelines are realistic, accurate, and continuously updated.
*
Resource & Workforce Management: Work with recruitment agencies and subcontractors to source additional or emergency labour quickly, professionally, and cost-effectively.
*
Commercial Understanding: Interpret detailed estimates and Bills of Quantities (BOQs) to generate accurate material requisition forms for our operations team.
*
Adaptability: Respond effectively to shifting schedules, delays, and project changes, implementing corrective actions promptly.
*
Positive Leadership: Maintain an optimistic, solutions-focused mindset. As a growing business, we value positivity and the ability to motivate and uplift teams.
*
Performance Management: Act as a fair but firm leader—supporting staff through improvement plans (PIPs), coaching, and development where appropriate, but also making clear decisions around terminating roles when necessary.
*
Team Development: Monitor the performance and potential of team members, recommending promotions and supporting career progression—for example, identifying emerging leaders such as newly promoted trade managers.
*
Reporting: Provide accurate weekly progress reports using internal tools, identifying schedule impacts, reasons for delays, and recommended corrective measures.
*
Client Engagement: Serve as a primary point of contact for clients, maintaining frequent communication and ensuring alignment—this is a hands-on role, not one confined to a site cabin.
Desirable Additional Skills (Highly Advantageous)
*
Variation Pricing: Ability to price project variations under £10,000 with high accuracy. Experience with pricing software is a strong advantage.
*
Software Proficiency: Experience with Procore or similar construction management platforms (training provided, but prior knowledge accelerates onboarding).
*
Supplier/Subcontractor Network: An existing contact base of reliable suppliers and subcontractors.
