Project Manager

Project Manager – Social Housing / Retrofit

Location: Exeter / Devon
Salary: Circa £55,000 + company van + package
Sector: Social Housing / Retrofit / Decarbonisation

Project Manager – The Company

An excellent opportunity to join one of the UK’s fastest-growing specialist contractors operating within the social housing, energy efficiency and decarbonisation sectors.

The business delivers large-scale improvement and retrofit programmes for housing associations and public-sector clients across the UK, with a significant and growing pipeline of work across the South West.

Projects incorporate a broad range of works including external and internal improvements, insulation, roofing, windows and doors, ventilation, renewable technologies and wider energy-efficiency upgrades.

This would suit either an experienced Project Manager or a strong Site Manager looking to take the next step in their career.

Project Manager – The Role

Based predominantly on site in the Exeter area, you will take responsibility for the day-to-day delivery of social housing improvement and retrofit works, coordinating multiple trades and ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently and to a high standard.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Managing day-to-day site and project delivery
• Coordinating subcontractors, direct labour and specialist trades
• Driving programme and ensuring key deadlines are achieved
• Maintaining excellent health & safety standards across site
• Monitoring quality and ensuring works are completed correctly first time
• Liaising with clients, residents and internal project teams
• Managing site documentation, progress reporting and compliance
• Identifying and resolving delivery issues before they affect programme
• Supporting successful handover and completion of works

Project Manager – The Person

We are looking for someone with a strong construction delivery background who is comfortable managing busy, live sites.

You will ideally have:

• Previous experience as a Project Manager or experienced Site Manager
• A strong background in construction, refurbishment, maintenance or social housing
• Experience managing multiple subcontractors and work packages
• Strong organisational and communication skills
• SMSTS
• Full UK driving licence
• A proactive, hands-on approach to project delivery

Previous social housing, planned maintenance, retrofit or decarbonisation experience would be advantageous but isn’t essential for someone with the right site management background.

Why Apply?

This is a strong opportunity to join a rapidly growing specialist operating in one of the busiest areas of the UK construction market. There is a substantial long-term requirement for upgrading and decarbonising existing housing stock, giving the business a strong pipeline and excellent scope for continued growth.

For an experienced Site Manager, it also represents a genuine opportunity to step up into project management with a business delivering increasingly large and complex programmes.

Salary circa £55,000 plus company van and package.

Immediate availability would be advantageous, although candidates on notice will also be considered
