Overview

We’re the UK's number one choice for homewares – we’re ambitious about our brand, about being a good company, and about profitable growth.

With 13 million active customers in the last 12 months, we offer over 85,000 products, including our own Dorma and Fogarty brands, across 200+ stores. We operate the UK’s largest Made to Measure factory for curtains and roman blinds. We’re also developing products to help customers live more sustainably by introducing new materials and circular design and broadening our Conscious Choice product lines.

We have an exciting opportunity for a Project Manager - Renewals and Refurbishment Programme to join us to manage the roll out and upgrades to some of our internal Departments.

Bringing our stores up to current specification with respect to the look, feel and commercial layout of the store and to ensure that the customer experience is identical in every store.

The Renewals programme (G2) will improve the optimisation of space to ensure departments are correctly sized, to the agreed company space matrix and customer segmentation and demographic and that fixtures are of current specification in terms of type, height, depth and ME capability.

The store optimisation / renewal will include the creation of the new coffee shop format which in many cases will involve the removal of the existing coffee shop walls, ceiling, flooring and M&E installation and reinstatement to the latest specification. Refurbishment or replacement of customer toilets, improvement to the existing click and collect storage capacity and the introduction of self-serve tills. Signage, graphics, displays will be replaced and upgraded to current design principles and the works will involve redecoration, flooring repairs etc….

The works will predominantly be completed outside of trading hours although there is no requirement for you to work nights, working hours will be set by the programme of works and there will be a need to communicate with on site management teams at the start or end of the works. Stores will maintain trade at all times.

The role will involve all aspects of building refurbishment and fitting out from inception and agreeing the scope of works to hand over. The project manager will ensure works are programmed and completed to a high standard and in a timely manner on site to the agreed budget.

The Store Development Team is self-sufficient and each project manager has ownership for their project. This involves being responsible for drawings, programming of works, liaison, instruction and negotiation with main contractors, sub-contractors, directly employed nominated contractors, consultants, landlords and statutory bodies. We act as Project Manager, Designer and Quantity Surveyor.

Please note that this role is field based.
