About the role...
We're looking for a Property Project Manager to join our Property team and take ownership of construction-led refurbishment, enhancement and extension projects across our existing gym estate, with occasional involvement in new site fit-outs.
This is a built-environment role, focused on physical spaces, construction delivery and live operational sites - not an IT or digital project management position.
Key responsibilities:
Project delivery - refurbishments & enhancements

Managing the end-to-end delivery of construction and property refurbishment projects across our existing gyms
Delivering works within live trading environments, minimising disruption to members and gym teams
Leading everything from simple refreshes through to complex refurbishments, reconfigurations, extensions and structural works
Owning project programmes, budgets, risks and reporting, ensuring work is delivered safely, on time and to standard

New site capability (as required)

Supporting technical due diligence for new gym developments
Managing new site fit-outs from shell condition through to operational handover when allocated
Working with Acquisition Managers to assess feasibility, costs and delivery risks

Working cross-functionally

Acting as a key link between Property and teams across the business, including Operations, Tech, Marketing and Finance
Understanding how gyms operate day to day and making sure property projects support both members and gym teams
Coordinating inputs from construction contractors, consultants and specialist suppliers (IT, security, equipment, etc.)
Translating operational requirements into practical, buildable solutions and clearly communicating risks, constraints and options

Financial & commercial management

Setting and managing project budgets, procurement routes and construction contracts
Ensuring strong financial control and value for money
Providing clear, accurate updates on cost, programme and risk

Health, safety & compliance

Ensuring full compliance with construction health & safety and statutory requirements
Acting as Principal Designer / Client representative where required and ensuring appointed parties meet their obligations

About you...
Essential

Proven experience delivering property or construction refurbishment projects in live, multi-site environments
Experience managing extensions, reconfigurations and complex works - not just like-for-like refurbishments
Strong experience working with contractors, consultants and suppliers
Confident stakeholder management and communication skills
Solid experience of budget management, procurement and contract administration
Good working knowledge of UK construction, building regulations and health & safety legislation

Desirable

Experience in gyms, leisure, retail or other operationally intensive environments
Understanding of how physical spaces impact customer or member experience
Experience supporting or delivering new site developments
