We are now looking for an exceptional Field People, Project & Client Operations Lead to take ownership of project delivery across London and beyond. This is not a typical Site Manager role. Leading small, specialist teams of two to four people, you will bring together project management, people leadership, client relationships and project administration to ensure every job runs smoothly, every team performs at its best and every client receives an outstanding service. Ready to put your skills to work in a role with real variety, responsibility and impact? A full UK driving licence is essential. This is a full-time, permanent position.

You will lead small, focused teams of three or four people and take personal ownership of the responsibilities that would usually be divided across a much larger operation. This includes client liaison, administration, reporting, IT systems, planning and people management. That is why we are not simply looking for someone with a traditional construction background. We need an individual who is highly capable in an office environment, confident using systems, managing paperwork and following processes, while also being comfortable standing in front of a team, giving clear direction and holding people accountable when required. This position may suit an experienced Office or Operations Manager who is ready to take their leadership skills into a field-based environment just as much as it would suit a conventional Site Manager.

This is a practical leadership position in which you will ensure that our services are delivered safely, efficiently and to the exceptional standards our clients expect.

Your responsibilities will include: • Planning and delivery - Developing project and valuation plans that keep work on schedule, within budget and fully compliant. • Administration, systems and reporting - Taking ownership of the administration, IT systems and reporting needed to keep teams, projects and clients aligned. • Team leadership - Managing specialist subcontractors and employees across multiple sites, providing clear direction and addressing issues before they escalate. • Health and safety - Promoting and maintaining high health and safety standards through training, monitoring and proactive management. • Problem-solving - Responding to challenges quickly and constructively, identifying solutions and escalating matters where necessary. • Conflict management - Remaining neutral, addressing disagreements early and preventing team politics from affecting project delivery. • Performance reporting - Providing clear and accurate updates on progress, productivity, costs and client satisfaction. About You We are looking for someone who combines outstanding administrative ability with the confidence to lead people directly. You will be: • A strong and confident user of Microsoft Office, particularly Excel and Word. • Comfortable taking full ownership of reporting, record-keeping and project administration without requiring extensive support. • Experienced in managing and directing small teams of employees, subcontractors or both. • Confident giving clear instructions, setting expectations and holding people accountable. • Able to address conflict early, remain impartial and avoid being drawn into taking sides. • Experienced in managing multiple sites or external building maintenance works. A background in construction, facilities management or property would be beneficial, although it is not essential where strong administrative and leadership skills can be demonstrated. • Highly organised, with excellent project planning and time management skills. • An effective communicator who can engage confidently with site teams, clients and board-level stakeholders. • Commercially aware, ideally with experience valuing works for accounting purposes. Applications are also welcome from fast learners who are comfortable working with numbers and systems. • Proactive, adaptable and able to perform well under pressure. • Willing to challenge established ways of working and identify better solutions. • In possession of a full UK driving licence.

Previously part of OTIS - one of the world's leading manufacturers and service providers of elevators, escalators and moving walkways - the business is now owned by R Capital. With greater agility as an independent company, we are rebuilding its platform and preparing for a significant period of growth. The business delivers maintenance, repair, installation and modernisation solutions across commercial, residential and public-sector environments, including prestigious and high-profile sites. We currently retain much of the operational infrastructure of a larger SME, while operating with the agility and resourcefulness of a smaller organisation. The successful Finance Director must therefore be equally comfortable shaping strategy, improving systems and getting personally involved in the detail. As a Private Equity-backed organisation, we are focused on operational excellence, cash optimisation, cost control and sustainable growth. This is a rare opportunity to join the senior leadership team during a major transformation and value-creation phase. The Opportunity: Reporting directly to the Managing Director, you will lead the entire finance function and act as a strategic partner to the MD, senior leadership team and Private Equity owners. You will bring clarity, discipline and commercial insight to the organisation while establishing the controls, reporting and financial infrastructure required to support future growth. This role requires someone who can operate strategically at director and board level while remaining willing to work through the underlying detail. You will not simply manage the finance function; you will strengthen, reshape and modernise it. • Provide strategic financial leadership to the Managing Director, leadership team and Private Equity stakeholders. • Take full ownership of FP&A, financial control, management reporting, compliance, audit and tax. • Deliver accurate, insightful and timely monthly management accounts. • Lead budgeting, forecasting, scenario planning and long-term financial planning. • Improve cash flow, working capital, credit control and debt recovery. • Strengthen financial controls, governance, systems and core processes. • Provide robust commercial analysis to support operational and investment decisions. • Develop performance targets and value-creation initiatives across the business. • Prepare high-quality board packs and investor reporting. • Manage relationships with Private Equity stakeholders, auditors, banks and external advisors. • Support the business through restructuring, transformation and future growth. • Drive cost reduction, margin improvement and stronger P&L performance. • Lead and develop the finance team, setting high standards while providing the support required for them to succeed. • Explore opportunities to improve efficiency through automation, AI and smarter use of financial technology. The business is particularly interested in how AI, automation and improved systems could enhance areas such as credit control, debt collection, reporting and finance administration while controlling costs as the organisation grows. About You: You are a commercially astute, technically credible and execution-focused finance leader who thrives in high-change, performance-driven environments. Crucially, you have already operated as a Finance Director, CFO or number-one finance leader within an entity. This is not a first FD appointment or a conventional career-progression role. You will arrive with the experience, judgement and confidence to take ownership from the outset. • ACA or ACCA qualification. • Significant post-qualified experience, ideally including 10+ years in progressively senior finance roles. • Previous experience as a Finance Director, CFO, Head of Finance or senior finance leader with full ownership of the function. • Strong knowledge of double-entry accounting and core financial controls. • Practical experience of construction, engineering, building services or project-based accounting. • A strong understanding of percentage-of-completion accounting, contract accounting and revenue recognition. • Experience operating within a turnaround, restructuring or major business-transformation environment. • A track record of improving profitability, cash flow and working-capital performance. • Strong financial modelling, forecasting and performance-management capability. • Experience of leading and developing a sizeable finance team. • The ability to move confidently between strategic leadership and detailed operational problem-solving. • Excellent communication, influencing and stakeholder-management skills. • Fluent written and spoken English.
