Project Manager Milton Keynes Refurbishment Retail / Supermarket Refurbishment Hybrid Working - 3 days at home Start December 2025 Must be able to use ASTA / MS Projects The Company: Think of this main contractor as the John Lewis of Construction-solid, reliable, and unlikely to vanish overnight. They've got a specialist division that focuses entirely on retail. If it's got aisles and a dodgy self-checkout, they've probably built it. Now they need a Freelance Site Manager who can turn an old store near Milton Keynes into something a bit less depressing. The Project: Right, here's the situation: The client's snapped up an old retail unit, and it's currently got all the charm of a 24-hour car park. Your job? Give it a full glow-up. Here's the plan: Full Refurb - Top to bottom, polished up and ready for the weekly shop. It's juggling 3-4 small projects (Convenience Stores) of up to 250k over 4 week programmes. Not your typical weekend DIY, but if you've handled bigger builds than your nan's conservatory, you'll be fine. All projects are fitout cost standard scope models - & so contractors are on-board with what they are doing. What We're Looking For: We need someone who's more than just a hard hat and a clipboard. If you: Know Your Retail: If you've built stores for the likes of Sainsbury's, Tesco, Morrison's, Co-Op, M&S, or Asda, your CV will be handled like it's the last packet of Hobnobs at a site tea break-snatched up and thoroughly appreciated. Run the Show: Projects from 250k where you were the boss-not the bloke who fetched the coffee. Stick Around: If you change jobs more often than a traffic light changes colour, this isn't for you. We want proof you don't bail at the first sign of rain. Understand Construction: Refurb, fit-out, technical know-how, and enough common sense to know a joist from a jib crane. Client-Friendly: You can talk shop without promising marble floors and chandeliers. Know how to use ASTA & MS Projects, & also understand the principles of programming. I know this ad's had a bit of fun, but let's be clear-I'm a serious recruiter working with a serious contractor, and this is a seriously good opportunity. If you've got the experience and the grit to handle projects that matter, I want to hear from you. Give me (Joshua French) a call on (phone number removed) or drop me an email at (url removed).
