Senior Construction Project Manager

My client is seeking a dynamic Senior Construction Project Manager to join their team in developing an impressive portfolio of hotels. This role offers the chance to be at the forefront of innovative hotel projects, including work on listed buildings, extensions, density increase projects, and office-to-hotel conversions. The position can be based in either the Leeds or London office, with travel to various UK sites required.

Joining this team means becoming part of a small but rapidly growing group in a fast-paced environment. This is not a role for Site Managers but for Project Managers experienced in collaborating with planners, architects, designers, construction consultants, and contractors to create hotels that truly stand out and deliver exceptional guest experiences.

To be considered for this role, candidates should have:

- A minimum of 5 years' experience as a construction project manager in the hotel sector.
- The ability to build positive working relationships with the wider team and service partners, as well as the ability to read and understand technical and architectural drawings, with experience in product and project specifications.
- A strong background in construction with a thorough understanding of current methods and building operations.
- Exceptional planning and organisational skills, capable of managing multiple projects simultaneously.
- Experience working in operating hotels during construction phases.
- An up-to-date knowledge of CDM, building regulations, and construction health and safety standards.
- Excellent communication and influencing skills, both in person and in writing.
- Analytical, problem-solving, and sound decision-making abilities.
- Leadership and project management skills.
- A flexible, collaborative, and hands-on approach to thrive in a dynamic environment.
- Commercial awareness.
- Strong organisational and time management skills.
- Flexibility for UK travel and overnight stays.

The successful candidate will ensure projects are delivered on schedule and within budget, demonstrating expertise in driving projects forward through all phases. Responsibilities include:

- Participating in regular project review sessions, proactively managing and communicating risks and issues.
- Ensuring compliance with government regulations and environmental, health, and security standards.
- Engaging with key stakeholders to ensure timely contributions.
- Working closely with the MD Office and Operations Team to maintain continuous project status knowledge.
- Advising on increasing energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
- Overseeing building projects, renovations, or refurbishments.
- Drafting reports and making written recommendations.
- Clearly communicating requirements to suppliers.
- Specifying both products and projects.

On offer is an excellent salary with benefits that include a contributory pension scheme up to 5%, private medical insurance, discounted hotel rates, and many others.
