Senior Project Manager Commercial Fit

About the Role

Are you a Senior Project Manager frustrated by subcontractor delays? Three9s Talent is recruiting for a specialist contractor that self-performs 80-90% of all works using an internal technical workforce. This model offers the Senior Project Manager total control over quality and speed.

Our client operates a high-speed, horizontal structure with a vibrant, multicultural workforce. We need a Senior Project Manager who excels in a "phone-first" environment and possesses the cultural fluency to lead diverse, international teams effectively.

• Direct Labour Command:
  Aligning our in-house electricians, technicians, and carpenters to precise project programmes.
• Technical Integrity:
  Verifying that all drawings and specifications are 100% buildable before site mobilisation.
• Stakeholder Management:
  Handling client communications with transparency and setting clear delivery expectations.
• Pre-emptive Problem Solving:
  Identifying sequencing risks early and resolving them before they impact the critical path.
• Streamlined Meetings:
  Leading high-impact meetings focused on actionable outcomes rather than bureaucratic updates.

• Experience:
  
  5-10+ years of proven success in London commercial fit-outs or high-end interiors.
• Cultural Fluency:
  Experience working in international environments or managing non-native English-speaking teams is highly advantageous.
• Construction IQ: A deep understanding of construction sequencing and realistic buildability.
• Direct Communication: A preference for verbal clarity and the confidence to have difficult conversations.
• Solution-Focus:
  An organised mindset that thrives on resolving complex on-site challenges.
• Driving: A full UK driving licence is required for site visits.

• You are accustomed to a slow-paced, corporate environment with layered approvals.
• You rely on managing subcontractors via email rather than leading direct labour on-site.
• You prioritise administrative reporting over proactive project ownership.

• Salary: £70,000 - £90,000 (dependent on experience).
• Benefits:
  Car allowance or company vehicle plus pension, health insurance and industry benefits.
• Holiday: 20 days + bank holidays.
• Structure: A delivery-focused, multicultural environment with minimal bureaucracy.
