Project Manager - Fast-Track Refurbishment & Fitout

The Company

A long-established, highly respected main contractor based near the Newport area is looking to appoint a Project Manager. The business delivers a steady stream of fast-track and high-end refurbishment and fitout projects across commercial offices and public-sector environments, typically ranging from £100k to £1m. While most projects are refurb and fitout, some smaller new-build elements may feature. Sites can be nationwide, so occasional staying away from home will be required.

Project Manager - The Role

This is an excellent opportunity for a Senior Site Manager ready to step up, or an established Project Manager seeking more autonomy. The Project Manager will take ownership of fast-paced refurb and fitout schemes within the public sector, leading delivery from pre-start through handover. You'll be supported by a strong commercial team, oversee site-based managers, and report directly to a Contracts Manager. As the company continues to grow, the Project Manager will have genuine scope for progression.

Project Manager - The Person

• Solid and stable permanent background with main contractors
• Proven experience delivering fast-track refurbishment projects
• Experience working on commercial or local-authority projects
• Strong understanding of site health & safety management
• Innovative mindset with a focus on continuous improvement
• High standards around quality, programme and client service
• Track record of delivering projects on time
• Collaborative team player who wants to contribute to a growing business
• Comfortable commuting to the broader Newport region

Project Manager - The Reward

• £50,000 - £55,000 salary
• £5,000 car allowance
• All food/meals fully expensed
• Comprehensive company benefits package
• Varied, interesting, fast-paced projects
• Clear progression opportunities as the company expands
