We're supporting a growing contractor-developer entering a new phase of strategic growth following new ownership and the appointment of a respected senior leadership team. With strong backing, a clear plan and a secured pipeline of work, the business is establishing a new London division focused on new build residential and high-rise schemes, while continuing to deliver several live façade and safety-driven refurbishment projects already underway.

This is an opportunity to join early, take ownership of multiple schemes, and grow with a division that has serious momentum. As Project Manager, you'll lead projects, working closely with an Operations Manager and senior leadership to deliver high-quality, well-run schemes across London.

• Build strong relationships with clients, consultants and internal teams.
• Chair progress meetings and coordinate with design, commercial, technical and senior leadership.
• Support pre-construction activities including surveys, methodology, buildability and logistics planning.
