This role is not about running individual projects day to day. It sits above live delivery and focuses on how projects are set up, managed, resourced, controlled and reported across the business.

You will manage a team of Project Managers, each running multiple projects, and oversee planning, document control and surveying support.

• Own portfolio-level reporting and forecasting

• Line manage Project Managers, Planner, Document Controller and Surveying function

• Work closely with commercial, technical and senior management teams

Candidate Profile

This role would suit someone currently working as a Project Director, Senior Contracts Manager, Operations Manager or Head of Delivery within a fit-out contractor.

You should have strong experience working in a fast-paced fit-out environment and be comfortable managing multiple projects through others, rather than delivering individual jobs yourself.

Summary

• You manage the delivery function, not individual projects

• You are responsible for consistency, control and visibility

• You oversee people, processes and performance across the portfolio
