Job description

About you

You are a Project Manager who enjoys working at pace and taking ownership. You like being trusted to run your own jobs without layers of process slowing you down. You are comfortable making decisions, speaking with subcontractors and keeping projects moving without needing constant direction.

You are open to travelling across the UK and understand what comes with fast track fit out projects. You take pride in delivering on time, keeping clients happy and protecting margin along the way.

Your experience

You have experience as a Project Manager within fit out, ideally within bar, restaurant or retail environments. You understand the pressure of short programme projects and how to manage multiple jobs at different stages.

You are commercially aware and confident placing orders with subcontractors, agreeing costs and managing spend on site. There is no Quantity Surveyor here, so you know how to take responsibility for the financial side of your projects.

You are organised, practical and able to communicate clearly with site teams and clients.

What you will be doing with your experience

You will be delivering fast track bar and restaurant fit outs for well known, blue chip clients. Projects typically range from £50k up to £1m, with many sitting around the £250k to £300k mark and running for around three weeks.

You will manage projects from start to finish, coordinating subcontractors, placing orders and keeping a close eye on cost and programme. You will be the key point of contact, making sure everything runs smoothly and issues are dealt with quickly.

This is a hands on Project Manager role where your experience will be trusted and relied upon from day one.

About the business

This is a well established fit out contractor with a strong pipeline of repeat work across the hospitality sector. They focus on fast track bar and restaurant projects for major clients, which keeps the work varied and consistent.

The business is set up to give Project Managers autonomy. You are not micromanaged, you are trusted to deliver. The team is experienced, down to earth and focused on getting the job done properly.

The office is based in West Yorkshire, although you can be based anywhere in the UK if you are happy to travel and attend the office when needed.

• a salary between £50,000 and £60,000
