This is a hands-on leadership position requiring someone who can provide clear direction to the site team while maintaining a strong overview of the overall programme, commercial position, quality and client relationship. The Candidate: We are looking for a Senior Project Manager with a proven track record of delivering complex construction projects, rather than someone whose experience is limited to straightforward new-build schemes.

This is a particularly detailed and technically challenging project, combining major structural and construction works with specialist heritage restoration and high-end hotel fitout. The central London location also creates significant logistical challenges, so the successful candidate will need to have experience working on complex projects where careful planning, coordination and strong site management are essential. The Senior Project Manager will report directly to the Construction Director and will have overall responsibility for the successful delivery of the project, managing the site team, contractors, programme, quality, health & safety and day-to-day construction activities. The successful candidate will initially be heavily involved in the preconstruction phase for approximately 4 weeks before moving into a 100% site-based role for the remainder of the project.

Reviewing drawings, specifications and technical information and ensuring works are delivered correctly.

The Team: You will lead a substantial project team including 2 Site Managers, Finishing Foreman, Ganger, labour and skilled trades, 2 Quantity Surveyors and a Design Manager, alongside the wider subcontractor, consultant and professional teams. This is a hands-on leadership position requiring someone who can provide clear direction to the site team while maintaining a strong overview of the overall programme, commercial position, quality and client relationship. The Candidate: We are looking for a Senior Project Manager with a proven track record of delivering complex construction projects, rather than someone whose experience is limited to straightforward new-build schemes. Strong Senior Project Manager / Project Manager background with experience delivering £20m £30m+ projects. Previous experience across hotel construction/conversion, residential or commercial conversions, major refurbishment, high-end fitout or similarly complex schemes.

Following this period, the Senior Project Manager will be required to be 100% site based in Central London for the duration of the project. Due to the complexity of the scheme, this is not a role for someone looking to oversee the project remotely. The successful candidate will be expected to be heavily involved in the day-to-day delivery, with strong visibility across the site and regular interaction with the client, contractors and project team.
