Job Description

About the Company

Shade‑Space and BAB Projects are specialist outdoor living and interior fit‑out divisions of the Bright A Blind Group. Founded nearly 35 years ago in London, the group delivers high‑quality, technically complex shading and specialist installations for some of the UK’s most prestigious commercial and residential clients.

The Role

We are seeking an experienced Field & Office Project Manager to manage technically driven shading and small‑structure projects ranging from £5,000 to £500,000.

This शुक्रवार hands‑on, site‑active role covers London and the Home Counties. It combines site surveys, site management, technical coordination, compliance, and client‑facing project delivery.

This is not an office‑based role. Regular site presence is a core requirement of the position.

Although we are a specialist business rather than a large corporate, this is a varied, fast‑moving role with real responsibility and visibility across the company.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage projects from post‑order through to completion
• Attend and/or carry out site surveys, taking accurate measurements for technical drawings
• Coordinate installers, suppliers, and subcontractors for smooth delivery
• Prepare and manage RAMS, permits, compliance documentation, and sign‑offs
• Site management, including troubleshooting installation issues and snags
• Act as the Dateien beacon for clients on site
• Proactively identify and resolve issues before they escalated
• Liaise daily with sales, operations, suppliers, credit control, and directors
• Provide clear progress updates across multi‑phase projects at project meetings

Essential Requirements (Non‑Negotiaturenable)

• Proven Project Management experience within construction, fit‑out, or technical installation
• Strong document management experience (applications without this will not be considered)
• Experience working in compliance‑heavy environments
• CSCS card (SMSTS preferred)
• Ability to read drawings and take accurate site measurements
• Confident written and verbal communication skills
• Proactive, organised, and comfortable working at pace
• Willing and able to work regularly on site across multiple locations

Optional / Desirable Experience

• Background in mechanical, electrical, steel, façade, glazing, or outdoor structures
• High‑end residential or commercial fit‑out experience
• Preferably located in the London area
• Ability to identify, plan, and specify appropriate access equipment for installations, including scaffold towers, scissor lifts, boom lifts, and other MEWPs
• Understanding of safe access planning and site constraints
• IPAF, PASMA, or similar access‑related certification (beneficial but not essential)

What We’re Looking For

• A proactive self‑starter who anticipates issues rather than reacts to them
• A strong communicator comfortable dealing with clients, contractors, and internal teams
• Someone calm under pressure with a practical, solutions‑focused mindset
• A team player who can work independently while keeping stakeholders aligned

What We Offer

• Varied, technically interesting projects
• A genuinely field‑active Project Management role
• Autonomy with support from experienced directors
• Long‑term opportunity within a growing specialist division

How to Apply

Please submit your CV along with a brief cover note outlining your relevant site‑based Project Management and document management experience.
