Senior Project Manager

We are working on behalf of a leading Tier 1 main contractor to appoint an exceptional Senior Project Manager for a landmark commercial office development in Central London.

This is a rare opportunity to join a flagship project from its earliest stages, taking ownership of the Pre-Construction Services Agreement (PCSA) before transitioning into the Construction Lead role as the project moves on site. Reporting directly to the Project Director, you will act as the number two on the project, playing a key role in shaping delivery strategy and leading a high-performing team.

You will provide strategic leadership throughout the project lifecycle, ensuring successful planning, procurement and delivery of a high-profile commercial office scheme. Initially, your focus will be on leading the PCSA phase, working closely with the client, consultants and supply chain to develop the construction methodology, programme and delivery strategy. As the project progresses to site, you will take on the role of Construction Lead, overseeing delivery and supporting the Project Director in the successful execution of the scheme.

• Lead the project through the PCSA phase, driving pre-construction planning and delivery strategy.
• Transition into the Construction Lead role, taking responsibility for successful on-site delivery.
• Act as deputy to the Project Director, supporting strategic decision-making across the project.
• Lead and develop a small project delivery team, fostering collaboration and high performance.
• Build and manage strong relationships with the client, consultants and supply chain partners.
• Oversee programme, commercial performance, quality, health and safety, and risk throughout the project lifecycle.
• Ensure robust project controls, governance and reporting are maintained.
• Drive proactive problem-solving and maintain momentum across all phases of delivery.

We are looking for an experienced and commercially astute Senior Project Manager who combines strategic thinking with excellent communication and leadership skills.

You will have:

• A proven track record delivering major commercial office developments.
• Experience managing projects from pre-construction through to completion within a Tier 1 main contracting environment.
• Strong experience delivering both new build and cut-and-carve commercial office schemes.
• Experience leading PCSA phases and successfully transitioning projects into the construction stage.
• Strong commercial awareness and a sound understanding of project controls, programme and risk management.
• Experience leading and developing a small, high-performing team.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to build credibility at all levels.
• A strategic mindset, capable of balancing the bigger picture with day-to-day project delivery.
• A collaborative leadership style with the confidence to deputise for the Project Director on a flagship scheme.
