Job description

Overview

Our client is a Top-Tier Integrated Facilities Management Provider delivering complex, bespoke, and fully integrated FM solutions across the UK. Location: National / Home Based; Reports to: Head of Projects & Lifecycle; Contract Type: Permanent; Salary: TBC.

Role summary: An experienced and proactive Senior Project Manager to lead the successful delivery of a wide range of projects across their extensive facilities management portfolio. This is a critical client-facing role that holds full responsibility for the planning, coordination, and execution of works. Projects will include lifecycle replacements, refurbishments, compliance upgrades, fit-outs, and wider property improvements. The successful candidate will ensure all works are delivered safely, on time, within scope, and to budget. The core objective is to maintain the company's high standards of quality, compliance, and customer satisfaction.

Responsibilities

• Project Delivery: Lead end-to-end delivery of all FM-related projects, from initial scoping and planning through to execution, staged inspections, handover, and post-project review.
• Budget & Cost Control: Develop and manage comprehensive project budgets, ensuring robust financial control, accurate forecasting, and value-for-money delivery across potentially multiple simultaneous projects.
• Stakeholder Management: Serve as the primary point of contact for clients, internal teams, contractors, and suppliers, maintaining clear communication and positive working relationships. The Senior PM may also network and develop new client relationships to support corporate growth targets.
• Programme Management: Proactively monitor project timelines, identify potential risks or delays, and implement effective mitigation strategies to avoid programme issues.
• Contractor & Supplier Management: Oversee procurement, tendering, contract negotiation, and performance management of all service providers. This includes leading internal procurement projects for works or services used by the business.
• Compliance & Safety: Ensure all project works strictly comply with statutory obligations, industry standards, and CDM regulations.
• Quality Assurance & Clerk of Works: Conduct staged site inspections to monitor quality, workmanship, and compliance. Prepare snagging lists, oversee rectification, and verify all essential documentation (certification, O&M manuals, warranties, as-built documentation) is in place before final handover. Certain specialist works (e.g., fire compliance) may require additional "golden-thread" documentation.
• Documentation & Handover: Manage the collation of all project close-out documentation, ensuring a seamless transition to ongoing FM operations and the client organisation.
• Change Management: Manage scope changes and variations, ensuring they are correctly costed, formally authorised, and communicated.
• Reporting: Deliver accurate and timely project updates, dashboards, and KPI reports to both senior management and clients.
• Team Leadership: Provide appropriate guidance and mentoring to junior staff or project coordinators where necessary.
• Emergency Works: Manage urgent project works arising from critical FM issues to ensure business continuity and minimal operational disruption.

Skills & Experience

• Proven track record in delivering multiple projects within Facilities Management, Construction, or Property Services.
• Strong understanding of building services, FM operations, and statutory compliance.
• Experience in budget management, forecasting, and commercial control.
• Excellent knowledge of CDM Regulations, health & safety, and risk management.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills at all levels.
• Proficiency in project management tools (e.g., MS Project, CAFM systems) and Microsoft Office.
• Relevant project management qualification (Prince2, APM) is desirable.
• Health & safety accreditation (IOSH/NEBOSH) is advantageous
