Project Manager - Shading

Position: Project Manager - Shading (Permanent)
Job Description:

About the Company

Shade-Space and BAB Projects are specialist outdoor living and interior fit-out divisions of the Bright A Blind Group. Founded nearly 35 years ago in London, the group delivers high-quality, technically complex shading and specialist installations for some of the UK’s most prestigious commercial and residential clients.

The Role

We are seeking an experienced Field & Office Project Manager to manage technically driven shading and small-structure projects ranging from £5,000 to £500,000.

This is a hands-on, site-active role covering London and the Home Counties. It combines site surveys, site management, technical coordination, compliance, and client-facing project delivery.

This is not an office-based role. Regular site presence is a core requirement of the position.

Although we are a specialist business rather than a large corporate, this is a varied, fast-moving role with real responsibility and visibility across the company.

Key Responsibilities

Manage projects from post-order through to completion

Attend and/or carry out site surveys, taking accurate measurements for technical drawings

Coordinate installers, suppliers, and subcontractors for smooth delivery

Prepare and manage RAMS, permits, compliance documentation, and sign-offs

Site management, including troubleshooting installation issues and snags

Act as the main point of contact for clients on site

Proactively identify and resolve issues before they escalate

Liaise daily with sales, operations, suppliers, credit control, and directors

Provide clear progress updates across multi-phase projects at project meetings

Essential Requirements (Non-Negotiable)

Proven Project Management experience within construction, fit-out, or technical installation

Strong document management experience (applications without this will not be considered)

Experience working in compliance-heavy environments

CSCS card (SMSTS preferred)

Ability to read drawings and take accurate site measurements

Confident written and verbal communication skills

Proactive, organised, and comfortable working at pace

Willing and able to work regularly on site across multiple locations

Optional /

Desirable Experience

Background in mechanical, electrical, steel, façade, glazing, or outdoor structures

High-end residential or commercial fit-out experience

Preferable located in the London area

Ability to identify, plan, and specify appropriate access equipment for installations, including scaffold towers, scissor lifts, boom lifts, and other MEWPs

Understanding of safe access planning and site constraints

IPAF, PASMA, or similar access-related certification (beneficial but not essential)

What We’re Looking For

A proactive self-starter who anticipates issues rather than reacts to them

A strong communicator comfortable dealing with clients, contractors, and internal teams

Someone calm under pressure with a practical, solutions-focused mindset

A team player who can work independently while keeping stakeholders aligned

What We Offer

Varied, technically interesting projects

A genuinely field-active Project Management role

Autonomy with support from experienced directors

Long-term opportunity within a growing specialist division

How to Apply

Please submit your CV along with a brief cover note outlining your relevant site-based Project Management and document management experience.
