This is an excellent opportunity for a Project Manager with experience in commercial fit-out and refurbishment to join a growing & forward-thinking construction business that values support, growth, and work-life balance.
Do you have experience delivering commercial fit-out, interior, or refurbishment projects in a Project Manager role or a similar role? Do you want to join a small but growing, forward-thinking company that will support your development & offer a long-term career?
This multi-disciplinary construction company have had massive success in the industry, growing its headcount and client base year-on-year. They specialise in commercial fit-out, retail environments, built environments, and temporary structure projects. The business has a dynamic and inclusive culture that encourages support, training, and development across all areas. Due to their growing order book, they are looking to bring in two Project Managers into the business to support this next phase of growth.
In this role, you will take full ownership of multiple commercial fit-out and refurbishment projects for a diverse client base, with individual project values ranging from £10k to £250k, delivered as part of multi-million-pound frameworks.
