Job description

Overview

Our client is a well-established project management firm specialising in the design and refurbishment of London investment properties. They are seeking a Project Manager with a strong background in this sector to run projects from small 1-bed flats to luxury high-end houses in West London. Many properties are in listed buildings, so experience refurbishing historical houses is a strong benefit.

The firm is looking for a Project Manager who has been performing the role for at least 5 years rather than an architect switching into project management, so they can hit the ground running. The ideal candidate will have a solid grasp of business and financial issues and understand the importance of well-thought-out design schemes delivered to fixed budgets within the overall investment strategy, with sound administration and an in-depth knowledge of CAD. Knowledge of 3D modelling and other industry software would be an advantage. The candidate should be personable, articulate, well-organised, have a good telephone manner and writing style, and be able to secure opportunities via third-party introductions. They should be able to multi-task, potentially managing up to 20 projects simultaneously, and have a minimum of 5 years’ experience undertaking renovations within central London. They should be confident both on site and in the office, with their own connections to contractors and third-party professionals.
