• Programme ownership and high‑level planning input
• Stakeholder management, particularly with client‑side FM and facilities teams
• Coordination of site team and subcontractors
• Ensuring works are delivered on time, within scope, and to a high standard

About You

• Proven experience delivering fit‑out projects in a similar value range
• Strong client‑facing skills – comfortable dealing with demanding stakeholders
• Experience managing projects with significant M&E packages
• Highly organised with strong programme management capability
• Local to Manchester (no accommodation budget available)

Additional Info

• Primarily daytime working, with occasional evening/weekend work for key activities (e.g. crane lifts)
