Are you an experienced Project Manager with a strong background in commercial fit-out and refurbishment who enjoys taking overall ownership of projects and building strong relationships with clients?
My client is a well-established fit-out and refurbishment contractor delivering projects across commercial offices, hospitality venues, bars, restaurants, leisure environments, sports facilities and specialist refurbishment schemes.
Due to continued growth, they are looking to appoint an experienced Project Manager who can manage multiple projects from pre-construction through to completion.
This is a client-facing Project Management role rather than a hands-on Site Management position. You will take overall responsibility for your projects, manage the client relationship and pre-construction process, and oversee delivery through Site Managers, subcontractors and the wider project team.
Projects are typically valued between £30,000 and £2 million, with Project Managers generally responsible for around 3–4 live projects at any one time.
Projects are predominantly across Yorkshire, although the company is undertaking an increasing number of national schemes, so some travel and occasional overnight stays will be required.
The Role
As Project Manager, you will take overall responsibility for projects from pre-construction through to final handover.
Responsibilities will include:
Acting as the main point of contact for clients throughout the project
Building and maintaining strong client and stakeholder relationships
Managing projects from pre-construction through to completion
Managing multiple live projects simultaneously
Developing project programmes and delivery strategies
Coordinating design teams, consultants, subcontractors and suppliers
Managing procurement and subcontractor packages
Monitoring project budgets and commercial performance
Leading client and project progress meetings
Overseeing Site Managers and project delivery teams
Ensuring projects remain on programme and within budget
Managing project risks and resolving issues as they arise
Producing progress reports for clients and Directors
Managing completion, handover and project close-out
About You
This role would suit an established Project Manager or Contracts Manager who is comfortable taking overall responsibility for several projects and representing the business directly with clients.
You should have:
Proven Project Management experience within commercial fit-out, interiors, refurbishment or design & build
Experience delivering commercial office, hospitality, leisure, sports or similar projects
Strong client-facing and relationship-management skills
Experience managing projects from pre-construction through to completion
Experience managing several live projects simultaneously
Experience managing Site Managers and subcontractors
Good procurement and commercial experience

A full UK driving licence
