Senior Project Manager

The Opportunity

We are working with a highly regarded super-prime main contractor delivering some of the finest private residential and mixed-use projects in London and the Home Counties.

They are now seeking an exceptional Senior Project Manager to take full responsibility for a £10 million flagship scheme, while also acting as a mentor and sounding board to three Project Managers within the business.

This role offers direct access to the business owners, significant autonomy, and a clear pathway into an operational / leadership role upon successful completion of the project.

Key Responsibilities

• Full end-to-end responsibility for the delivery of a complex super-prime project
• Client-facing lead, representing the contractor at senior level
• Managing programme, cost, quality, logistics, and design coordination
• Leading site and consultant teams to an exceptional finish
• Ensuring best-in-class health & safety, quality control, and reporting
• Acting as a mentor and professional sounding board to three Project Managers
• Providing guidance on:
• Programming and sequencing
• Client management
• Risk mitigation and decision-making
• Quality standards and best practice
• No day-to-day operational responsibility for their projects

Strategic Involvement

• Working directly with the owners on:
• Project strategy and delivery methodology
• Continuous improvement and best practice
• Input into future resourcing and project planning

Future Progression

• Upon completion of the £10m scheme, there is a clear and genuine opportunity to step into an Operational Management / Project Director-level role
• Involvement in:
• Oversight of multiple high-value schemes
• Mentoring senior delivery teams
• Supporting business growth and standards across the company

Candidate Profile

• Proven experience delivering super-prime or ultra-high-end projects (£8m+)
• Strong background as a Senior Project Manager or Project Director
• Confident, credible, and polished client-facing communicator
• Natural leader with the gravitas to mentor and influence senior PMs
• Comfortable working closely with business owners in an entrepreneurial environment
• Technically strong across structure, basements, complex refurbishments, and high-end fit-out

Why This Role Stands Out

• Flagship £10m scheme with full autonomy
• Direct reporting line to company owners
• Mentorship role without operational overload
• Genuine succession planning and leadership pathway
• Highly respected contractor with an exceptional reputation and supply chain

Package

• Highly competitive salary (commensurate with experience)
• Long-term progression into senior operational leadership
