Job description

Junior Project Manager | High‑End Commercial Fit‑Out

Location: London (Site‑Based)

Salary: Up to £60,000 + Benefits

Project Values: £1m - £10m

Are you a Site Manager or Construction Manager with a strong eye for detail and a desire to move into a leadership role? We are a leading London‑based contractor looking for an ambitious individual to transition into a Junior Project Manager position.

This is a pivotal role for someone who understands the “sharp end” of delivery but is ready to take on greater responsibility for project programming, commercial management, and client relations.

The Role

As a Junior Project Manager, you will support a Senior PM in delivering high‑quality Cat A and Cat B office fit‑outs across Central London. You will bridge the gap between site operations and project strategy, ensuring our projects remain on track, on budget, and to our exacting standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Project Delivery: Oversee the day‑to‑day progress of fit‑out projects ranging from £1m to £10m.
• Programming: Assist in developing and maintaining detailed project programmes (Asta or MS Project).
• Sub‑contractor Management: Lead progress meetings, coordinate trades, and ensure health & safety compliance.
• Commercial Support: Work alongside the QS to manage variations, procurement, and cost reporting.
• Client Relations: Act as a key point of contact for architects, designers, and client representatives.

About You

We are specifically looking for a “step‑up” candidate. You likely come from a trade background or a construction management degree and have spent the last few years managing sites.

Requirements

• Experience: 3+ years in a Site Manager or Assistant PM role within the London fit‑out market.
• Sector Knowledge: Proven experience in Cat A and Cat B commercial office interiors.
• Skills: Strong understanding of building regulations, health and safety, and the ability to read complex technical drawings.
• Drive: A proactive “problem‑solver” mindset with the ambition to manage your own projects within 12‑18 months.
• Certifications: Valid SMSTS, CSCS (Black or Gold), and First Aid.
