Job description

EXCELLENT SALARY AND BENEFITS PACKAGE INCLUDING COMPANY VEHICLE / VAN

Headquartered in Dunfermline and with multiple locations throughout Scotland, GRW Talent’s client is amongst the UK’s largest home improvement companies with a highly recognisable and established brand that is synonymous with quality. Due to continuous sales growth in both their domestic and commercial customer bases, they now need to make the key hire of a Project Manager.

Rated Excellent on Trust Pilot with over 5000 reviews and voted the best company in the UK in their sector by consumer champion Which.co.uk, the customer experience and service is at the heart of everything they do.

They are looking for an experienced and dedicated Project Manager to become part of a rapidly growing social housing installations team. As Project Manager, you will be responsible for ensuring that all operations run smoothly, efficiently, and safely. This role requires strong leadership skills, excellent time management, and a thorough understanding of site management practices.

The ideal candidate will be proactive in problem-solving and committed to maintaining high standards of quality and safety. You will be responsible for:

• Planning and managing labour, material and costs to ensure projects are carried out safely, on time and to the highest standard.
• Conducting quality and safety audits in accordance with our management system.
• Managing improvements in health and safety.
• Maintain accurate records of site activities, including daily logs, incident reports, and progress updates.
• Address any issues or delays promptly to minimise disruptions to the project timeline
• Providing ongoing training to ensure all installations are carried out to our unique fitting details.
• Coaching and mentoring colleagues to support their continuous development.
• Liaising with supply chain to consistently improve quality and logistics systems to maximise output and productivity.

We are looking for a Project Manager who comes with natural people management skills. This could be someone coming from an operational management, commercial management or people management role within the construction or building industry who has the ability to adapt. We will also consider individuals who may have worked directly within the social housing market and have experience in leading teams.

It is preferred but not essential for candidates to be educated to degree standard, preferably in a construction or engineering discipline. Joinery / shopfitting experience would be useful. Health and safety certification is required. Please note due to the high volume of locations of customer sites having a focus more East or West within the central belt may be possible in this role.

This is a unique opportunity to join one of Scotland’s leading brands, offering fantastic career opportunities and the autonomy to make a real difference within an organisation already committed to growth, service excellence and uncompromising safety standards. Candidates can expect superb job security, ongoing training and career development. Your excellent base salary is supplemented by a solid company pension, private healthcare, company vehicle or van and fuel card and 31 days holiday per year.
