Construction Project Director

Overview

We are Venetian Interiors London (VIL) - a specialist subcontractor delivering complex interior finishes on high-profile commercial projects across London. We are growing fast. We are looking for someone to take ownership of our entire project delivery and scale the business with us. We are looking for a commercially switched on Project Director who understands how margins are protected on complex, multi-trade construction sites - not someone who just gets the job done at any expense.

The Role

You will own the project delivery function from pre construction details to high quality completion on site, working directly with the owners of the company.

Your Core Responsibilities

• Owning delivery across multiple live sites
• Protecting margin on every project
• Driving standards and program, not reacting
• Leading the client, team and suppliers
• Building and structuring the delivery team as we scale
• You will own each project from post tender to final account.

If you have only ever "just ran a few projects", this is not for you. We have a high expectation for quality, program and commercial performance and you will have to make constant decisions at speed. This is a leadership role in a growing business, not a comfortable position in a large corporate environment.

What we're looking for

You Must Have

• Proven experience delivering commercial fit-out / interiors for tier 1 contractors.
• Experience running multiple live sites at once
• Strong understanding of the entire project management, commercial management and man management functions of this business
• Confidence to lead the client and push back when required
• Ability to drive program and lead the site team and hold accountability
• High attention to detail with punctuality, communication and decisiveness

Big Plus (but Not Essential)

• Experience with specialist/ bespoke finishes and fittings (specialist plasters, acoustic, GRG, joinery)
• Exposure to projects £2M+ in value.

We Are NOT Looking For

• Someone who just gets the job done
• Someone who relies on a QS to own the finances
• Someone who avoids difficult conversations
• Someone looking for an easy role

What You'll Get

• £80k - £95k base salary (aligned to ability, not time served)
• Performance linked bonus
• Hybrid working (Most projects are London based)
• Direct access to business owners - no corporate wall
• Clear progression and opportunity as the business scales

This is a growth role in a business that values the right people who deliver results, match our positive culture and understand what success looks like.
