Job description

Senior Project Manager – Major Commercial Developments

London | £70,000–£80,000 + Excellent Package

This is an opportunity to work on some of London’s most significant commercial developments with a fast-growing and highly regarded project management consultancy. With an exceptional pipeline of major Central London schemes, the business is looking to appoint an experienced Senior Project Manager who wants genuine project ownership, direct exposure to leading developers and investors, and a clear route for progression as the consultancy continues to grow.

This is not a role where you will simply support a larger project team. You will be given the autonomy to lead complex, high-value projects and become a trusted advisor to the client, taking responsibility from early-stage strategy and design through procurement, construction and handover.

The Projects

You will work across an impressive portfolio of commercial developments, including:

• £200m+ new-build commercial office developments
• Major CAT A office fit-outs
• Technically complex cut & carve and structural refurbishment schemes
• High-profile redevelopment projects across Central London

The Role

As Senior Project Manager, you will lead projects through the full development lifecycle, coordinating multidisciplinary consultant and contractor teams while maintaining oversight of programme, risk, quality and commercial objectives. You will work directly with senior client stakeholders, providing strategic advice, driving key project decisions and ensuring complex schemes remain on track from inception through to completion.

About You

• Strong construction consultancy / client-side Project Management experience
• A track record delivering major commercial office developments
• Experience across new-build, CAT A and/or complex refurbishment projects
• Full project lifecycle experience from inception through construction and handover
• Strong design, procurement and construction-stage knowledge
• Excellent client-facing and stakeholder management capability
• The confidence to lead multidisciplinary teams and take ownership of complex projects
• Strong commercial awareness and an understanding of project risk
• MRICS, MCIOB, MAPM or equivalent professional accreditation would be advantageous
