Senior Project Manager – Structural Refurb & Fit-Out Central London | £110k–£120k + very solid package | Start Spring

Some projects are new build — clean lines, blank canvases, the comforting illusion of control.

These are not those projects.

This is the world of heavy refurbishment and high-end fit-out, where the building has opinions, the programme is more of a living document, and every “small change” arrives with a meeting

A long-established, genuinely market-leading contractor is looking for a Senior Project Manager to run £15m–£25m (and bigger) central London schemes — the kind that reward calm authority, not volume.

They’re not after buzzwords, vision statements, or someone who calls everything a journey. They’d just like someone very good at delivering complicated projects without turning it into theatre.

The reality of the role

Major refurbishments with significant fit-out scope Tight sites, live environments, and neighbours who definitely work from home Lots of moving parts, all expecting to move firstWhat you’ll actually do

Run programmes that people reluctantly admit are sensible Procure works in a way that still looks clever a year later Lead teams without motivational speeches Keep clients informed, reassured, and occasionally surprised (in a good way) Deliver a high-quality scheme while making it look almost straightforwardWhat they’re hoping you bring to the party

Proper heavy refurb + fit-out experience A track record of delivering projects of real scale Career stability (they like people who stay long enough to fix the snagging list) A calm, pragmatic approach to the inevitable chaosWhy it’s worth a look

Excellent salary and bonus Financially robust, respected business Interesting, complex London pipeline Adults running the place — minimal noise, maximum competenceIf you’d like to run projects where experience is noticed, understatement is welcome, and nobody says “let’s circle back” unless they absolutely have to — get in touch for a confidential chat.
