Site Manager £40m Cat A Refurb | City of London
Permanent | Competitive salary + comprehensive package

Let's be honest: if you've managed a flagship refurb that turned out to be a glorified repaint, two skips, and a panic-buy on materials. This is not that job.

This is a £40m Cat A refurbishment in the heart of the City of London a reception, café, shower block (for the Lycra commuters), lift lobbies, and landscaping setup grand enough to keep the wellness crowd nodding approvingly.

You'll be working with one of the UK's best commercial fit-out & refurb contractors. 90% of their work comes from repeat business (because apparently doing the job properly does still count). Founded back when Harold Macmillan said we'd never had it so good clearly, he hadn't seen a QS's variation log.. Still relevant. Still respected. Still not run by someone who thinks RAMS is a type of farm animal.

Carbon neutral for 5yrs+. Proper training. Solid leadership. A team that actually supports site staff instead of just emailing how's it going? from the comfort of head office.

You'll need to be the sort who can:
· Work within a team on a big refurb site without chaos or caffeine-induced meltdowns
· Manage trades, programmes, and clients ideally with some grace
· Juggle progress tracking, delivery delays, and the weekly can we just design changes
· Keep things moving, even when the drawings are still being finalised

What you won't need to do:
· Chase missing deliveries like they're mythical creatures
· Rebuild the job in your own time because someone forgot the insulation
· Babysit subcontractors who think deadlines are a suggestion

I know this ad's had a bit of fun, but I'm a serious recruiter, working with a serious contractor, on a seriously good opportunity.

Project Lead | £15m - £30m Projects | Central London | Cut & Carve

Are you a Project Lead who's been running £15m - £30m+ sites?

The Company
·Think Tier 1 build quality without the Tier 1 nonsense. All the tools, none of the tape.
·This contractor is backed by a well-funded parent company (the type that pays on time and doesn't do jazz hands every time someone says "procurement"). They've got all the toys in-house: demo, piling, superstructure, joinery, haulage - and actually finish jobs. Properly. Not "let's get practical completion and run"

What you'll need to bring:
·Tier 1 experience - if you've made it through a pre-start meeting with 14 consultants and lived to tell the tale, that counts
·Either already a Project Lead, or a Project Manager who's basically running the show but still being patted on the head
·Stuck around long enough to see a job finished - not someone who updates their CV every time the kettle breaks.
·Have proper construction knowledge - not just fluent in buzzwords like "value engineering" and "project synergies"
·Can read a programme, challenge it, fix it, and not have a meltdown when the brickies disappear for two weeks

What you'll be doing
·Running £300m jobs like they're yours (because they are) from breaking ground to cutting ribbons
·Taking responsibility without needing a committee to back you up
·Getting stuff built properly, safely, and on time - while fending off 800 "urgent" emails about what shade of grey the cladding is
·Leading from the front - boots on, not just boots in the back of the car

What you won't be doing
·Filling in ten forms to order a skip
·Sitting in meetings where someone says "let's park that for now" and then drives off forever.
·Explaining what a soffit is to a senior stakeholder named Clive who once built a treehouse in 1989

This role could also be referred to as a Project Manager, Senior Project Manager, Senior Construction Manager, Construction Manager, Project Director or Project Lead

I know this ad's had a bit of fun, but let's be clear-I'm a serious recruiter working with a serious contractor, and this is a seriously good opportunity. If you've got the experience and the grit to handle projects that matter, I want to hear from you.
