Project Manager

The Company

With a history spanning more than 100 years, the SAUTER Group is a worldwide market-leading specialist in developing, manufacturing, and delivering Building Management Solutions (BMS) for large commercial and residential properties.

Introduction

Due to our continual success and growth in these markets, we are seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead and deliver BMS projects at a commercial and operational level. Projects will include a mix of working with Tier 2 contractors at both SI and MSI level along with delivering smaller projects where you may be dealing directly with a single M&E contractor or end client.

As a Project Manager, you will be responsible for delivering work packages safely, within budget, on time and to client specifications. This will be achieved through working with a dedicated project delivery team whereby you will be expected to manage performance and risk of the project.

Whilst most of these projects will be within London, there will be the need to support selected projects located elsewhere in the UK.

• Establish and manage financial targets to achieve predetermined objectives, including regular reporting of financial status, risks and progress updates to the Project Director.
• Provide technical support to both customers and engineering teams utilising resources from centralised departments, specialist suppliers and sub-contractors.
• Prepare comprehensive project documentation, including progress reports, change orders, and closeout documentation, to ensure accountability and compliance with contractual obligations.
• Cultivate and maintain strong customer relationships whilst identifying and supporting new business opportunities within our existing customer base.
• Ensure accurate billing of works, from preparing payment applications to final account negotiation and settlement.
• Assess variations and support the team in maximising opportunities.
