Senior Project Manager - Super Prime Residential West & South West London A highly regarded, boutique project management consultancy operating exclusively in the super-prime and ultra-high-net-worth residential sector is looking to appoint a Senior Project Manager to join their growing team. The business manages a portfolio of circa 10 live projects - high-end houses, whole-house refurbishments, cut-and-carve schemes and bespoke new builds - predominantly across West and South West London, with values typically ranging from 1m to 15m. With further fee proposals in the pipeline, this is a well-timed appointment into a business with real momentum.

What They're Looking For The existing PM team comes from contractor backgrounds, so the business is specifically seeking someone who brings a design and/or consultancy perspective - whether that's from an architectural practice, a design-led consultancy, or a client-side role with strong design sensibility. You'll need: Demonstrable experience in super-prime or prime private residential projects A background in architecture, design management or a design-led consultancy The credibility and polish to represent a UHNW-facing business at the highest level Experience managing complex refurbishments, extensions or cut-and-carve schemes in London Strong consultant coordination skills and a thorough understanding of the design and planning process Excellent communication skills - with clients, contractors and consultants alike Practice architects looking to move client-side are warmly encouraged to apply, provided you have the relevant project types and client-facing experience.

Reginald Gray continues to partner with several leading contractors across the Oxfordshire market and we're keen to speak with experienced Site Managers who are considering their next move. Our clients deliver high quality construction projects across the prime residential, heritage, private education and research and development sectors, working on both new build and refurbishment schemes. Typical project values range from 2m to 50m , offering a variety of technically challenging projects. Rather than recruiting for one specific vacancy, we're looking to connect with Site Managers who possess a particular blend of experience and are interested in hearing about opportunities that genuinely align with their background and career aspirations. We're particularly interested in speaking with Site Managers who: Have progressed from either a recognised trade background or a construction related educational route. Have a proven track record of delivering complex new build and refurbishment projects. Have experience working in constrained, live or busy environments such as Oxford, London or Reading where logistics and stakeholder management are critical. Can demonstrate longevity and consistency with established main contractors, reflecting commitment and a strong project delivery record. Are confident leading site teams, coordinating subcontractors and maintaining high standards of quality, safety and programme delivery. These opportunities won't be the right fit for everyone. If you're unhappy with your current employer, travelling further than you'd like each day or simply feel it's time for a new challenge, I'd be keen to have a confidential conversation. There is no hard sell and no obligation. Just an honest conversation about where you are in your career and whether one of our clients could offer a better fit. If this sounds like you, get in touch with Reginald Gray for a confidential discussion.

Project Manager More Influence. Less Red Tape. Esher, Surrey Up to 80,000 / 85,000 + Bonus + Private Pension + Private Medical Some Project Managers like looking after one project. Others enjoy juggling two live jobs, keeping clients happy, solving problems before anyone else notices them and somehow finishing the day with fewer emails than they started with. If you're in the second camp (or you're wondering who keeps sending all those emails), keep reading. We're working with a successful privately owned main contractor delivering high-quality refurbishment and residential projects across London and the South East. This isn't one of those businesses where every decision needs three meetings, two spreadsheets and approval from someone you've never met. You'll work closely with the Directors, your opinion will count, and you'll have the autonomy to get on with the job. With several major projects completing this year and a strong pipeline already secured, they're looking for a Project Manager to oversee two live projects at any one time. The Role: You'll split your week between the office and site, keeping programmes on track, clients informed, subcontractors moving and the inevitable curveballs from turning into full-blown headaches. Current and upcoming projects include high-quality refurbishments, super-prime residential developments and a 15m Build-to-Rent scheme forming part of a much larger programme (not their standard work but healthy). No two days are the same mainly because construction has a habit of rewriting today's plan before you've finished your first coffee. You'll probably suit this role if you: Have experience as a Project Manager or Contracts Manager with a main contractor. Enjoy coordinating projects just as much as walking them. Can manage clients, consultants and subcontractors without reaching for the stress ball. Thrive in a fast-paced environment where your inbox has ambitions of its own. Hold a construction-related degree (preferred). If you're looking for more influence, less bureaucracy and the chance to join a contractor that's growing for the right reasons, we'd love to tell you more. Always open to a discreet conversation.
