Project Manager - Luxury Residential

Project Manager - High End Residential

Chelsea & Kensington, London

£80,000-£100,000 + Package + Generous Bonuses

Imagine running £1m-£3m luxury residential projects across Chelsea and Kensington, with the freedom to make your own decisions and a Director who actually shares the profits with the people making the business successful.

This is an opportunity to join a seriously impressive High End Residential contractor, turning over around £20m a year and delivering full refurbishments of some of West London's most exclusive private homes.

We're talking complex basement excavations, heavy structural alterations, complete strip-outs and high-spec internal fit-outs. The sort of projects where you've got to know your construction, understand the numbers and be able to keep a lot of moving parts under control.

They're looking for an experienced Project Manager to take ownership of 2-3 live projects at a time. Each site has its own Working Foreman or Site Manager handling the day-to-day, leaving you to manage the bigger picture across programme, procurement, budgets and client relationships.

Here's where this role gets interesting. There aren't any dedicated QSs in the business, so you'll need to be commercially sharp. You'll be involved in pricing, tracking costs, managing variations and making sure the projects are delivering the margins they should be. If you're someone who enjoys having full control of your projects rather than passing everything through three different departments, you'll probably love the way this company operates.

You'll be joining a close-knit team of genuinely knowledgeable Project Managers, led by a Director who's built an incredibly successful business by doing things a little differently. He trusts his team to get on with the job, gives them the autonomy to make decisions, and importantly, rewards them very well when the projects perform.

With the profit margins this business achieves, the bonus potential is a serious selling point. This isn't somewhere you just collect your salary and go home. If you're good at what you do and make the business money, there's real earning potential.
