Project Manager – Interior Fit-Out & Refurbishment

Staffordshire / Nationwide Projects | £60,000 – £65,000 + Package

We are recruiting for an experienced Project Manager to join an established specialist contractor delivering fast-paced interior fit-out and refurbishment projects across the UK.

The business has an excellent reputation within the retail, leisure and hospitality sectors, working with recognised national clients and delivering both individual projects and multi-site programmes.

Due to continued workload and a strong pipeline of projects, they are now looking to strengthen their operational team with an experienced Project Manager who understands the pace, detail and coordination required within the fit-out sector.

The Role

As Project Manager, you'll take responsibility for projects from pre-start and mobilisation through to completion and handover.

These are often fast-track projects within live or operational environments, so strong planning, communication and problem-solving skills are essential.

You'll be responsible for coordinating site teams, subcontractors, suppliers and the wider project team while ensuring projects are delivered safely, on programme, within budget and to an excellent standard.

Your responsibilities will include:

Managing projects from pre-start through to handover

Programming, planning and sequencing works

Managing Site Managers and site-based teams

Coordinating subcontractors and specialist trades

Managing fast-track fit-out programmes

Client and consultant liaison

Working closely with Commercial, Design and Procurement teams

Monitoring progress against programme

Managing health & safety

Maintaining quality standards throughout delivery

Identifying and resolving potential project issues

Managing variations and changes alongside the commercial team

Attending client and progress meetings

Driving snagging, completion and successful handover

Your Background

We're particularly interested in speaking with Project Managers who understand interior fit-out and refurbishment.

Experience within retail fit-out would be particularly attractive, although candidates from leisure, hospitality, commercial interiors, shopfitting or other fast-track fit-out environments will also be considered.

Ideally, you'll have:

Previous Project Management experience within fit-out/refurbishment

Experience managing fast-track construction programmes

Strong subcontractor management skills

Excellent programming and organisational ability

Good commercial awareness

Strong client-facing communication skills

Experience working within live/operational environments

Excellent health & safety knowledge

The ability to manage multiple stakeholders and priorities

SMSTS, CSCS and First Aid or relevant equivalents

You'll also need to be comfortable travelling to projects throughout the UK as required.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This is an opportunity to join an established specialist contractor with long-standing client relationships, repeat business and a strong pipeline of work.

The business operates within a fast-moving sector where no two projects are exactly the same. Programmes can be challenging, clients demanding and deadlines fixed – so they need Project Managers who enjoy that environment and know how to make things happen.

For the right person, there is genuine scope to become an important part of the operational team and develop a long-term career within the business.

Salary & Package

£60,000 – £65,000 + package, dependent upon experience.

If you're an experienced Project Manager within retail fit-out, shopfitting, leisure, hospitality or commercial interiors and you're looking for your next move, please send me your CV or contact me directly for a confidential conversation.
