Job description

This is not a coordination-only role.

This is a full lifecycle project leadership position inside a specialist fit-out business delivering high-end joinery projects across the UK (Predominately London).

We're looking for a Project Manager who understands:

• End-to-end project delivery
• Design coordination
• Manufacturing processes
• On-site installation
• Not just someone who manages schedules.

Why This Role Is Different

The Specialist Group delivers complex joinery fit-out projects that move from concept design through manufacturing and onto precise onsite installation.

This role sits at the centre of that entire process.

You won't just track project timelines.

You'll influence:

• ? End-to-end project delivery
• ? Manufacturing coordination and quality control
• ? Design development and specification alignment
• ? Onsite installation and programme management
• ? Client communication and stakeholder relationships

Your leadership will ensure projects are delivered on time, on budget, and to the highest quality standards.

This role will suit someone who has:

• Experience in joinery fit-out or construction project delivery
• A strong understanding of design, manufacturing, and installation processes
• Confidence managing project budgets, timelines, and stakeholders
• Strong leadership and communication skills
• The ability to manage multiple moving parts in a fast-paced environment

If you've worked as:

• A Project Manager in joinery or fit-out
• A Design Manager looking to move into full project ownership
• A Site Manager ready to step into project leadership

You’ll likely feel at home here.

What You'll Be Accountable For

This role carries responsibility across the full project lifecycle.

You'll be responsible for:

• Project delivery from design through to installation
• Coordinating design teams to meet project specifications
• Managing manufacturing schedules and quality control
• Leading onsite installation teams
• Maintaining strong client communication
• Managing project budgets and timelines
• Identifying and mitigating delivery risks
• Providing clear reporting and stakeholder updates

This is a delivery leadership role - not just a coordination function.

Culture & Environment

• Collaborative project teams across design, manufacturing, and installation
• High-quality specialist joinery projects
• Fast-paced and delivery-focused environment
• Strong teamwork and communication across departments
• A business that values ownership and accountability

Who This Is Perfect For

You might currently be:

• A Project Manager in joinery or fit-out looking for new challenges
• A Design Manager ready to step into full project ownership
• A Site Manager with strong technical knowledge wanting to move into project management
• Someone who thrives when technical detail meets project leadership

If you enjoy bringing design, manufacturing, and installation together to deliver exceptional projects - this could be the move.
