United Kingdom · Full-time · Not Applicable

Your new company
Leading and well established fit-out and refurbishment contractor that have completed numerous projects for blue-chip high profile clients across East Anglia. They pride themselves on the quality of projects and repeat business with their clients.

Your new role
As Project Manager, you'll take full ownership of delivering high‑quality commercial fit‑out projects-driving predictable outcomes across programme, quality, safety, client experience, and commercial performance. You'll also play a pivotal role in strengthening delivery standards across the business, improving consistency, governance, and commercial control across multiple live projects.

This role suits someone who blends hands‑on delivery expertise with strong commercial judgement and natural leadership. You'll set the tone on site, make confident decisions, and build trusted client relationships-while also helping to embed better ways of working across the wider team.

Over time, your remit will grow beyond individual projects into portfolio‑level oversight, supporting other Project Managers and raising overall delivery performance. This creates a clear pathway into Contracts Manager and, ultimately, senior leadership-giving you real influence over how the business delivers and grows.

Key Responsibilities:

  • End‑to‑end project delivery - ensuring projects are safe, on programme, and on budget
  • Programme and site control - maintaining high standards and predictable outcomes
  • Commercial management - including change control, forecasting, and risk management
  • Client and stakeholder leadership - building trust and representing the business with confidence



What you'll need to succeed

  • Proven experience delivering commercial fit-out / interiors projects
  • Strong knowledge of contracts (e.g. JCT) and commercial management
  • Confident leader with excellent communication skills
  • Organised, proactive, and solutions-focused
  • Tech-savvy and open to adopting new tools and systems, including AI, to improve efficiency and delivery outcomes.
