Senior Project Manager — Jewel Bespoke Build Ltd
Location: Surbiton. Full-time, permanent.
Build beautiful homes. Work with people who care about the craft.
We are Jewel Bespoke Build — a family‑owned luxury residential contractor delivering some of the most ambitious homes in Surrey, SW London and the Home Counties.
- New builds
- Period restorations
- Full refurbishments
- Accessible‑living adaptations
All projects typically £500k to £2m, for clients who care deeply about the result.
Due to growth we are looking for a Senior Project Manager to join the team and own the delivery of our live portfolio.
Why this role is different
- Projects you’ll be proud of — architecturally ambitious homes, period properties brought back to life, and a dedicated Accessible Living division creating life‑changing adaptations.
- A team around you, not under you — an in‑house QS, Compliance Lead, Site Managers, H&S Officer and an Operations Director. You run the project; you don’t carry it alone.
- Real progression — quarterly reviews, genuine career growth within JBB and across the wider Jewel Enterprise family.
What you’ll be doing
Running 3‑4 concurrent high‑end residential projects from kick‑off to handover. The headline responsibilities:
- Owning the programme — logic‑linked MS Project schedules, baselined and updated weekly.
- Running contract administration under JCT (ICD 2024) with a clean, professional record.
- Working hand‑in‑glove with our QS on cost, variations and final accounts.
- Managing the client relationship on site — warm, calm and professional.
- Holding subcontractors to our programme and our standards.
- Principal Contractor duties under CDM 2015.
You’ll fit right in if you…
- Have run high‑end residential or bespoke build projects in the £500k–£2m range.
- Know your way around JCT contracts.
- Can build a proper programme in MS Project — and keep it honest.
- Hold yourself to a high standard on contractual record‑keeping.
- Stay calm and measured with clients, CAs and subbies — even on the tough days.
- Hold a relevant qualification (MCIOB, MRICS, MAPM or equivalent) — or have the track record to match.
- Have a full UK driving licence and are happy to be site‑facing.
What we offer
A senior seat in a growing, ambitious, family‑owned business.
A competitive package — discussed openly at interview.
Genuine progression within JBB and the wider Jewel Enterprise family.
Variety — no two projects look the same.
A culture that values craft, quality and doing things properly.
A team that has each other’s backs.
