Grade I Listed | Central London | £3.5m | Live Site
This company operates almost exclusively in the heritage and conservation world - royal estates, historic buildings and places where reputation matters more than marketing.
This role isn’t quite that end of the spectrum yet.
But it’s how people get there.
The current project is a £3.5m refurbishment of a Georgian Grade I listed building in central London. Brick façade and principal listed rooms to the front, with extensive strip-out, remodelling and conversion of rear areas and basements into high-quality office space.
We’re looking for a technically sound Site Manager, likely from a refurb, fit-out or complex commercial background. You don’t need heritage experience - but you do need to be interested in working more carefully, more thoughtfully, and with fewer theatrics.
You’ll:
· Work alongside an experienced Site Manager
· Sometimes have a chaperone, sometimes run the site independently
· Manage trades, sequencing, logistics and H&S
· Be trusted to behave appropriately in a sensitive, live environment
This is a starter site into the heritage world - a chance to learn how historic buildings are handled properly, without being thrown in at the deep end.
The kind of person this suits:
· A few years’ experience as a Site Manager, but skin in the game..
· Strong technical knowledge and the ability to actually run a site
· Calm, credible and presentable
· A good communicator - someone who explains rather than shouts
· Comfortable dealing with clients, consultants and subcontractors
· Knows when to ask questions, and when to say very little at all
· More measured professional than site hardman
This company values:
· Judgement over speed
· Communication over noise
· Care over ego
If your background is refurb rather than volume housing,
and you’re curious about working on buildings with longer memories and higher expectations,
this could be the project that brings you into a very different part of the industry.
Please get in touch for a discreet conversation about conservation..
