This is a really good opportunity for someone who has built their experience within mechanical or MEP services and is now looking to make the move into a Technical Services Manager role. You don't necessarily need to already be a TSM.

Project Manager - Commercial Fit Out City of London Up to £90,000 + Package DOE Fast-Track Commercial Fit Out Projects up to £3m Permanent We're working with a growing London fit-out contractor who is looking to appoint an experienced Project Manager to join their team, delivering fast-track commercial fit-out projects across the City. This is a great opportunity for an ambitious PM who wants more than simply being handed a project and asked to deliver it. You'll have involvement right from tender stage, helping shape how projects are going to be delivered, building programmes, contributing to pitches and presentations and ultimately taking ownership of the project through to successful completion. The role You'll be responsible for delivering fast-paced commercial fit-out projects typically valued up to £3m, predominantly across the City of London. Projects can move quickly, so we're looking for someone who is comfortable taking ownership, making decisions and keeping clients, consultants, subcontractors and the internal team moving in the same direction.

It's a hands-on environment where good people are trusted to get on with the job, but you'll still have the support of an experienced team around you. For someone who enjoys the pace of London commercial fit-out and wants to become an important part of a growing contractor rather than another number within a huge business, there's a really good opportunity here. If you're delivering commercial fit-out projects in London and looking for a role where you can have more involvement from tender and pitch right the way through to handover, I'd be keen to have a confidential conversation.
