Job description

Join an SME based in Mayfair as an Operations Manager or Contracts Manager, focussed on delivering refurbishment and fit-out of high-end commercial and retail spaces across West London. This is a strategic hire to bring an experienced construction professional into the fold who can drive the business to the next level, working as part of a great team while contributing to large commercial projects. Construction and operational experience on projects is essential, as this is a hands-on role, with the whole team getting involved in tendering and delivery.

A proven track record of working in an SME construction business is key. Strong organisational skills, coupled with the experience and ability to operate successfully on site. Experience in budgeting, scheduling, and resource allocation is required, as is the ability to communicate effectively with clients, subcontractors, and team members. Track record in fit-out and commercial developments would be great, but this is not an essential requirement as long as you have clear construction project experience. This is a long-term strategic hire, looking for an individual who can deliver for 3-5 years in the role before stepping up into a potential directorship, rather than someone looking to come in, deliver a project and move on.

This role is perfect for a proactive individual who is looking for a clear career plan to move towards a directorship. It's a hands-on role, where you will be expected to deliver across all aspects of the business, rather than delegating to a large existing team. If you are ready to take the next step in your career, then this is the role for you. For more information about this role, please contact Dominic Jacques on (phone number removed).
