About the Role

This is a newly created and business-critical role, offering the right person the opportunity to take ownership of fire door installation programs across multiple sites. Our projects focus on renovations and building improvements rather than new-build construction, so applicants must bring strong on-site experience, safety awareness, and practical problem-solving skills.

The Agile Program Manager will oversee all aspects of fire door projects, from planning and resourcing through to site delivery and compliance. You'll be accountable for ensuring high-quality installations, effective team management, and maintaining excellent communication with stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

• Project Leadership & Site Management
  • Lead, plan, and deliver multiple concurrent fire door installation projects across diverse sites.
  • Ensure work is completed safely, on time, within budget, and to required compliance standards.
  • Act as the main point of contact between clients, suppliers, and internal teams.
  • Work closely with senior management to support customer requirements and project scope.
  • Coordinate with Compliance Officers to ensure installations meet certification standards.
• Team Supervision & Resources
  • Lead, motivate, and support site-based installation teams.
  • Oversee scheduling, resourcing, and allocation of tools, vehicles, and materials.
  • Provide leadership and performance feedback to ensure operational excellence.
• Health, Safety & Compliance
  • Uphold strict Health & Safety practices and site discipline.
  • Ensure compliance records and on-site documentation are accurate and completed on time.
  • Proactively manage risks, incidents, and non-compliances.
• Stakeholder Engagement
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, suppliers, and internal teams.
  • Provide clear, professional communication to ensure customer satisfaction.
  • Deliver accurate project updates and reports to senior management.

About You

• Experienced in managing multi-site construction/renovation projects (fire door/installation experience advantageous).
• Strong understanding of Health & Safety and CDM requirements.
• Exceptional problem-solving skills with a practical, hands-on approach.
• Highly organised with the ability to manage multiple projects under pressure.
• A natural leader with excellent communication skills and the ability to inspire confidence.
• Proficient in using digital tools and project management systems.

Essential Requirements

• Proven track record of program/project management in a construction, building services, or similar environment.
• Full UK Driving Licence.
