Project Manager, Operations Manager, Contracts Manager

Sales to Delivery | High-Value Construction & Fit-Out Projects The Opportunity

We’re looking for a commercially sharp, client-facing Project Consultant to lead major projects from first conversation to contract award — and set them up for flawless delivery.

This is not a traditional PM role.

It’s a commercial, sales-led project leadership role where you own the client relationship, control the numbers, shape the deal and protect the margin — before the project ever hits site.

You’ll work with premium clients, landlords, agents and professional teams on projects ranging from £100k to multi-million-pound developments, acting as the commercial brain and delivery conscience behind every win.

If you thrive at the intersection of sales, construction, finance and delivery — this is your seat at the table.

• Own high-value opportunities from business development handover through to contract award
• Lead client meetings alongside design teams to shape briefs and solutions
• Build and control full project cost models from concept to contract
• Analyse subcontractor tenders, supplier pricing and commercial risk
• Run value engineering and margin protection strategies
• Lead commercial negotiations and contract clarification
• Manage surveys, site visits, scopes, programmes and risk registers
• Deliver bullet-proof handovers into pre-construction and operations
• Build trusted long-term client relationships that drive repeat business

• High-end commercial fit-out, refurbishment and construction
• Blue-chip clients, landlords, managing agents and consultants
• Project values from £100k to multi-million-pound schemes

• Experience running fit-out/construction projects in a commercial environment
• Strong pre-contract, costing or sales-led delivery background
• Advanced Excel and financial modelling capability
• Confident negotiating and closing complex commercial deals
• Deep understanding of construction life cycles and procurement

Commercial fit-out / refurbishment / design & build experience

Knowledge of contract forms and governance

• Commercially ruthless but client-focused
• Analytical, structured and detail-driven
• Confident in high-value boardroom environments
• Relationship-led with a hunter-farmer mindset
• Calm under pressure, strong under scrutiny

This is a role for someone who wants influence, ownership and impact — not just another project number.
