Full-time, Permanent Position

About the Company

This established commercial interior fit-out business delivers projects across the Midlands, with particular experience in internal fit-out systems including drywall partitions, suspended ceilings and associated works. The company has a strong workload and is looking to strengthen its project management team with an experienced professional who can take ownership of multiple projects.

Why Join Them

The Project Manager will join an established team working across a varied portfolio of commercial interior fit-out projects. The role offers a stable workload, responsibility for projects from pre-start through to completion, and the opportunity to work closely with an experienced Project Co-ordinator and site teams.

There is also scope to take ownership of projects with a high level of autonomy, while working within a supportive team environment. The successful Project Manager will have the opportunity to build strong client relationships and play an important role in the continued growth of the business.

About the Role

As Project Manager, you will be responsible for managing multiple live commercial interior fit-out projects across the Midlands. You will oversee projects from initial pre-start planning through to completion, ensuring they are properly resourced, coordinated and delivered to the required standards.

The role will involve regular travel to sites and client meetings, alongside project management responsibilities from the office in Towcester.

The Project Manager will be responsible for:

• Managing multiple live commercial interior fit-out projects.

• Taking projects from pre-start through to completion.

• Planning labour requirements and project programmes.

• Carrying out regular site visits and attending client meetings.

• Managing site teams and subcontractors.

• Coordinating works across different trades and project stages.

• Working closely with the Project Co-ordinator to procure materials.

• Coordinating material deliveries to ensure projects remain on programme.

• Identifying, pricing and managing project variations.

• Working alongside the Project Co-ordinator on valuations and final accounts.

• Monitoring project costs and maintaining commercial awareness.

The ideal Project Manager will have a strong background in commercial interior fit-out and a good understanding of drywall partitions, suspended ceilings and associated interior systems. You will need to be commercially aware, highly organised and confident dealing directly with clients and subcontractors.

This position would suit an experienced Project Manager who is comfortable managing several projects simultaneously and can work with minimal supervision. A practical understanding of interior fit-out and the ability to identify and resolve issues on site will be important.
