Somewhere in Edinburgh right now, a dryliner is asking where the drawings are, the electrician is blaming the corridor dimensions, somebody’s marked up 47 doors incorrectly… and a programme has quietly moved from “tight” to “interesting”.
Which is exactly why this role exists.
Main contractor - established 50+ years - delivering a large accommodation scheme in Edinburgh:
6 low/mid-rise blocks
600+ bedrooms
15 months remaining
Structural frame complete on 3 blocks
Steel frame works ongoing within the remaining 3 existing blocks
2 blocks currently at 1st fix / partition stage
Remaining blocks moving into 1st fix from JuneThey’re looking for an Internals Manager / Site Manager / Fit-Out Manager who:
Can commute easily to Edinburgh
Has a decent track record with previous employers
Has delivered residential, hotel or student accommodation projects
Understands 1st fix through to handover properly
Can take ownership of a block without needing their hand held every 14 minutesThis is very much a “get amongst it” role:
Driving subcontractors
Coordinating trades
Keeping standards high
Keeping programme moving
Trying to get 11 different trades to work in the same corridor without looking like a rugby scrum (Finn Russell with a hard hat would be ideal)You’ll either take ownership of a restoration block or new build block from current stage through to completion.
Good contractor. Proper long-term project. Plenty of moving parts.
If interested - or if you know someone whose natural habitat is unfinished corridors, ceiling grids and saying “right, who’s actually in charge of this area?” - give me a shout.
