They are looking to appoint an experienced Project Manager to take responsibility for a live occupied façade remediation / recladding project in Leeds.

The initial requirement is to lead this scheme through delivery, but there is genuine long-term progression potential within the business. As the regional workload develops, there is scope to progress into a more senior operational position, overseeing multiple projects across the Midlands and North.

The company operates as both a Principal Contractor and specialist façade contractor, delivering complex façade remediation and recladding schemes.

• Manage programme, sequencing and overall project performance.
• Coordinate site teams, subcontractors and specialist trades.
• Maintain strong client relationships and lead project meetings.
• Oversee QA, inspections and project documentation.
• Ensure high standards of health & safety throughout delivery.
• Work closely with design and commercial teams.
• Manage technical issues relating to cladding and fire barrier systems.
• Drive the project through to successful completion and handover.

The ideal candidate:

• Proven Project Management experience within façades, recladding or external envelope.
• Technically strong across cladding systems and fire barriers.
• Strong programme management and project delivery experience.
• Confident, professional and client-facing.
• Strong understanding of health & safety and quality assurance.
• Ideally from an installation background, having progressed through site management into Project Management.
• Capable of taking full ownership of projects from mobilisation through to completion.

Progression:

Genuine opportunity to progress into a senior operational / Contracts Manager position overseeing future projects across the Midlands and North.

This would suit someone looking for more than just their next project — there is a real opportunity to become a key part of the contractor’s regional expansion.
