The Opportunity

An excellent opportunity has arisen for an experienced Project Manager or Senior Project Manager to join a growing project consultancy and become part of an established retail team.

The role will involve working with major UK retail clients, delivering a varied portfolio of projects across the Midlands and wider UK.

Projects will range from individual store projects through to multi-site rollout programmes, including new-build developments, refurbishments, extensions and fit-outs.

This is a strong opportunity for someone who enjoys a fast-paced, client-facing environment and wants exposure to recognised retail brands and ongoing programmes of work.

The Role

You will take responsibility for projects from initial brief and feasibility through design, procurement, construction and handover.

Depending on experience, you will either manage projects independently or take the lead across larger projects and programmes, coordinating clients, consultants, contractors and other key stakeholders.

Typical responsibilities will include:

• Full lifecycle project management from inception through to completion
• Managing retail fit-out, refurbishment and new-build projects
• Coordinating multidisciplinary design and consultant teams
• Developing and managing project programmes
• Managing scope, programme, budget, quality and project risk

• Exposure to retail fit-out, refurbishment, store rollout or new-build projects
• Strong client-facing and stakeholder management skills
• The ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously
• A relevant construction/property qualification
• MRICS, MCIOB or another professional qualification would be advantageous but is not essential
