Our client delivers high-quality interior fit-out and refurbishment projects across the UK, working with recognised brands and businesses across retail, hospitality, leisure, office/commercial and specialist environments.

You will act as the key operational presence on site, working closely with Project Managers, Contracts Managers, clients and the wider delivery team to ensure projects are completed safely, on programme and to an exceptional standard.

Typical responsibilities will include:

• Managing commercial fit-out and refurbishment projects from mobilisation through to completion and handover
• Coordinating subcontractors, trades, suppliers and deliveries

• Ensuring full compliance with site health & safety requirements
• Conducting site inductions, toolbox talks and daily site coordination
• Managing snagging and ensuring works are completed to specification
• Liaising professionally with clients, consultants, designers and project stakeholders
• Maintaining accurate site records, progress reports and project documentation
• Identifying potential programme or delivery issues and resolving them proactively
• Supporting successful practical completion and client handover

You could have experience delivering projects within:

• High-spec refurbishment

You will need to be confident managing multiple trades and subcontractors while maintaining control of programme, H&S, quality and client expectations.

• Strong subcontractor and trade management experience
• Excellent understanding of site health & safety
• Ability to work to demanding project programmes and deadlines
• Strong eye for detail and quality of finish
