Job description

As a Senior Project Manager in the property industry, you will oversee the successful delivery of mixed‑use construction projects from inception to completion. This permanent role in East Molesey requires exceptional project management skills and a keen understanding of the construction process.

Client Details

Our client is a highly regarded, boutique project management consultancy delivering complex residential, mixed‑use, industrial, and leisure developments across London and the UK. Despite a lean team structure, the business consistently operates at a level typically associated with much larger consultancies, working with sophisticated client teams on high‑value schemes.

Current projects

Current projects include later phases of a £300m+ development at Battersea, a large 40‑acre master‑planned regeneration scheme on the South Coast, and a growing pipeline of residential, hotel, industrial, and specialist leisure projects, including a national padel court rollout. With a strong secured pipeline but limited senior capacity, the consultancy is now seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager to play a pivotal role in both project delivery and business growth.

This is an opportunity for a driven, commercially minded SPM who thrives in a small, entrepreneurial environment and wants genuine influence over projects, clients, and outcomes.

Description

• Lead the front‑end strategy and delivery of major residential and mixed‑use schemes, including complex London developments
• Act as the senior day‑to‑day client interface, managing high‑level stakeholder relationships and advising on project strategy
• Drive early‑stage planning, feasibility, and development strategy, coordinating multiple stakeholder groups
• Take ownership of programme, cost, cash flow, risk, and reporting across large and complex workstreams
• Support procurement routes, contract strategy, and commercial decision‑making
• Coordinate and lead consultant teams, contractors, and specialist advisors
• Contribute to business planning discussions, including pipeline planning and resourcing strategy
• Provide leadership, direction, and mentoring to junior team members within a lean consultancy structure

Profile

• Proven experience operating at Senior Project Manager level within a consultancy environment
• Strong background in residential or mixed‑use development; infrastructure exposure is advantageous but not essential
• Highly experienced in front‑end project stages, including planning, stakeholder engagement, and early commercial strategy
• Commercially astute, with a clear understanding of cash flow, risk, and development drivers
• Confident, personable, and credible in senior client and stakeholder settings
• Proactive, energetic, and self‑motivated, with no appetite for complacency
• Entrepreneurial mindset, comfortable taking ownership and wearing multiple hats in a small team

Job Offer

• Senior role on high‑profile schemes including Battersea and a major coastal regeneration project
• Significant autonomy and influence within a consultancy that values outcomes over hierarchy
• Exposure to a broad and technically varied project portfolio
• Flexible employment options, including permanent, fixed‑term, or contract arrangements
