Industry: Supermarket Refurbishment & Fit-Out Programmes

Overview

This is an opportunity to join a well-established principal contractor delivering a wide range of projects for a leading national supermarket brand. Workstreams vary from small cosmetic improvements and minor reactive works to signage packages, departmental refreshes, phased refits and full-store refurbishments.

The business has maintained long-standing relationships with its retail clients, with over 70% of projects secured through repeat business. Financially stable and part of a larger construction group, the company operates autonomously across several regional offices while benefiting from wider group resources.

The Role

You will manage a rolling programme of supermarket projects across the UK, typically fast-track and delivered in live environments with strict operational constraints. Project values range from £50k for small cosmetic upgrades to £5m+ for larger refurbishments, with an average around £1m-£3m depending on the programme cycle.

The role requires strong experience of Design & Build processes, rapid mobilisation, proactive stakeholder communication and the ability to maintain high standards while working to tight deadlines. You will oversee 2-3 live projects at a time, while supporting pre-construction activity on future schemes.
