Senior Project Manager

A well-established London-based property investor and developer has recently expanded its portfolio with the acquisition of a third commercial building in the Blackfriars area. The scheme will deliver a high-quality Cat A office refurbishment, and we are now seeking a Senior Project Manager to take full responsibility for the successful delivery of this flagship project.

Uniquely, the business operates in a fully integrated model, acting as both client and main contractor on its developments. This removes traditional delivery layers and enables a direct, streamlined decision-making process, with full ownership and accountability sitting within the project team.

Key Responsibilities:

You will lead the end-to-end delivery of a Cat A commercial office fit-out, overseeing programme, cost, quality, and site execution. Working closely with internal development, design, and construction teams, you will ensure the successful delivery of a high-specification office scheme in a live central London environment.

A key aspect of this role is strong commercial control from a client-side perspective - ensuring cost certainty is maintained from early design through to final account. This includes leading procurement strategy, managing contractor and trade packages, controlling change, and protecting overall project value through disciplined cost planning, forecasting, and risk management.

• Full project leadership from pre-construction through to handover
• Managing Cat A office fit-out works in Blackfriars
• Coordinating design development, procurement strategy, and site delivery
• Maintaining robust cost control and commercial governance across all stages
• Leading procurement of contractors and specialist packages
• Managing variations, change control, and cost-to-complete forecasting
• Ensuring programme certainty and quality standards are achieved
• Reporting directly into senior leadership within the business

The Ideal Candidate:

This opportunity is best suited to someone with a strong commercial / quantity surveying background, ideally someone who has progressed into a Project Management or delivery leadership role. You will likely have:

• Proven experience delivering Cat A commercial office fit-outs in London
• A background in quantity surveying, commercial management, or cost consultancy
• Experience in a Senior Project Manager / Project Manager / Employers Agent capacity
• Strong understanding of procurement strategy, cost control, and contract administration
• Confidence working within both client-side and main contractor environments
• A proactive, hands-on approach with strong stakeholder management skills

This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially minded construction professional to take ownership of a landmark London office scheme within a fast-moving, integrated delivery structure.
