Job description

The Company

Our client is a developer with its own in house construction arm, acquiring, building and selling high end homes in Central London and the South East. Their focus is on design, quality craftsmanship and close attention to detail.

The Project

The initial project is the conversion of two period townhouses into ultra high specification two and three bedroom apartments. It has an approximate build value of £8m and a programme of around 18 months.

The scheme is well advanced in its preparation so they are looking to get a PM engaged and on site well before Christmas.

You will be the client’s lead on site, reporting directly to the Construction Director, who will be on site around two days a week. You will be supported by a Quantity Surveyor visiting once or twice a week, an assistant on site and a site labourer.

This is a permanent appointment and the business is looking for someone who will become part of the team for the long term.

The Role

• Take full control of the project and run it day to day from the site
• Develop the existing high level programme into a detailed working programme in Microsoft Project, and manage progress against it
• Manage the procured package contractors and coordinate their work on a logistically demanding urban site
• Plan and manage site logistics, access and sequencing within a constrained Central London location
• Maintain high standards of quality, programme and cost control throughout delivery
• Work alongside the Quantity Surveyor on cost management and report regularly to the Construction Director
• Lead and direct the site team

The Individual

• Proven hands on project management experience on prime or super prime residential projects in London
• Strong structural and cut and carve experience on complex refurbishment or conversion schemes
• Experience delivering logistically challenging projects in constrained urban locations
• The ability to build and manage detailed programmes in Microsoft Project
• Experience on projects of a comparable scale, managing the site directly rather than overseeing other Project Managers
• A level headed, confident approach and the ability to take ownership of a project

Salary and Package

• Pension
• Permanent, full time employment

The Opportunity

This is a well prepared £8m scheme with planning, procurement and a programme already in place, giving the right person the chance to lead a quality project from start on site to completion. The business offers direct access to senior decision makers, a long term view and an interview process that can move to offer quickly.
