About the Role
I am currently working with an industry leading fit out contractor who are seeking a high-caliber Project Manager to lead and deliver multiple commercial fit-out projects across Europe. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who thrives on accountability, client engagement, and driving excellence from pre-construction through to completion.
Key Responsibilities
- Full ownership of projects: accountable for programme, cost, quality, and risk across delivery teams and support functions.
- Pre-construction leadership: shape bids, programmes, methodologies, logistics, and risk registers; contribute to tender interviews and client pitches.
- Programme management: create and manage robust programmes using Asta Powerproject or MS Project; report progress and re-baseline as needed.
- Client & consultant interface: chair progress meetings, challenge constructability, and maintain strong relationships with demanding client teams and consultants.
- Commercial stewardship: collaborate with Commercial Managers on procurement, change control, valuations, cashflow, and final account.
- MEP coordination: lead planning, integration, and commissioning of services within fit-out environments.
- Hands-on delivery: roll up your sleeves when required-site presence, problem solving, and decisive action to unblock delivery.
- Governance & H&S: ensure rigorous compliance, QA, CDM, and site setup; drive best practice across teams.
- Multi-project leadership: concurrently manage 2-3 projects (each 1m- 6m), balancing resources, risk, and stakeholder expectations.
Requirements
- Proven track record delivering commercial D&B fit-out projects from pre-construction to handover, ideally across Europe.

- Experience with Procore (or similar CDE) and strong reporting discipline.
- Demonstrable MEP coordination experience.
- Leadership qualities: ability to set standards, mentor teams, and hold owners to account.
- Mobility: ability to travel across Europe; EU passport a plus (UK candidates who can work in Europe considered).
- Relevant construction/project management qualifications; SMSTS/First Aid/IOSH preferred.
