Job Description

Senior Project Manager

£60,000 - £95,000 + Package | Stansted | Site-Based

We are currently recruiting for an exceptional Senior Project Manager to join an established and highly respected construction and fit-out contractor delivering complex projects across the UK. With more than 30 years of industry experience, the business has built an excellent reputation for delivering technically challenging projects within specialist commercial and operational environments. This is an opportunity to join a growing team working on high-value, technically demanding fit-out and construction projects in Stansted, where quality, safety, programme and technical delivery are critical. They're not looking for someone who simply ticks every box on a job description. They're looking for what they describe as a "unicorn". Someone who combines strong project delivery experience with technical understanding, commercial awareness, leadership and the ability to build excellent relationships with clients and supply chains.

The Role

As Senior Project Manager, you'll take ownership of the successful delivery of complex construction and fit-out projects from pre-construction through to completion. You'll work closely with clients, consultants, commercial teams, subcontractors and site teams, ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently, commercially and to the highest possible standard. The projects involve significant M&E elements and multiple stakeholders, so this is ideally suited to someone who thrives in technically demanding and fast-paced environments. 
You'll be expected to take ownership, make decisions and lead from the front.

What We're Looking For

We're particularly interested in Project Managers who have experience delivering:

M&E-led fit-out projects
Commercial construction and specialist fit-out
Complex projects within live operational environments
High-value or technically demanding projects
Multiple subcontractor packages and supply chains
Projects where programme, quality, safety and commercial performance are critical
Experience within commercial, industrial, infrastructure, data centres, pharmaceutical, life sciences or similarly complex environments would be highly relevant.

You'll Need

Proven experience as a Project Manager or Senior Project Manager
A strong construction and fit-out background
Experience managing M&E / MEP-led projects
Strong understanding of construction programmes, budgets and project delivery
Experience managing subcontractors and supply chains
Excellent client and stakeholder management skills
Strong commercial awareness
The ability to take ownership of projects from start to finish
Excellent communication and organisational skills
A proven track record of delivering complex projects

Why Join?

This is an opportunity to join a business working on genuinely interesting and technically challenging projects, rather than standardised construction work. You'll be working within complex operational environments alongside experienced construction professionals, managing projects where your experience and decision-making can have a real impact. The business has an established reputation within the industry and offers the opportunity to build a long-term career within a growing and ambitious construction contractor.

The Package

Salary: £60,000 - £95,000 depending on experience 
Plus company package and benefits. 
Location: Stansted, Essex
 Working pattern: Site-based
 Job type: Full-time

Who Is This Role For?

If you're an experienced Project Manager or Senior Project Manager with a background in commercial fit-out, M&E, infrastructure, industrial or another technically complex construction environment, we'd like to hear from you. 
We're particularly interested in people who have progressed beyond simply managing individual work packages and are ready to take genuine ownership of major projects. Exceptional candidates will be considered. 
If you're looking for a role where you'll be trusted to deliver, given significant responsibility and have the opportunity to work on major, technically challenging projects, this could be an excellent next move.
