Project Manager – F&B / Hospitality
Salary: £55,000 to £70,000, dependent on experience
Location: Central London
Working pattern: Office based preferred
Software: Not specified (scheduling and reporting tools likely, see note below)
Sector: Hospitality and F&B construction and fit-out (client-side project management)
About the consultancy
This is an established London project management consultancy that delivers high-quality construction and fit-out work across the hospitality and food and beverage sectors. They work closely with leading brands to bring technically complex spaces to life, holding the line between commercial rigour, design intent, and the operational reality of a space that has to actually work once the doors open.
The focus is firmly on construction-led interiors: the kind of projects where a commercial kitchen, a front-of-house space, and a high-footfall customer area all have to come together without compromise. Not infrastructure, not tech, not events. Built environment, done properly.
It is a growing consultancy with a premium client list, and the work is the sort that rewards people who genuinely enjoy the technical side of delivery rather than just the title on the door.
About the role
This one is pitched across both Project Manager and Senior Project Manager level, so it works whether you are well established or ready to make the step up. Either way it is a delivery-focused role, leading hospitality and F&B fit-out projects from feasibility all the way through to handover. The work is hands-on and construction-led, and the projects are often operationally complex: commercial kitchens, front-of-house spaces, and busy customer areas that all have to perform from day one.
You will be trusted to run multiple live projects at once, manage consultants and contractors, and act as the key client interface throughout. That client-facing trust is central to the role, not a bolt-on. You will be the person the client relies on to keep things honest, on budget, and on programme.
At Senior PM level, the role carries more besides: greater responsibility for strategic decisions, mentoring junior members of the team, and taking the more complex or higher-value projects under your wing. There is clear progression here and real autonomy, which makes it a strong move for someone with ambition. Candidates with drive-thru experience or multi-site rollouts will be of particular interest.
Your days will look something like this
- Lead the full project lifecycle, from feasibility, planning, and design coordination through to delivery and handover
- Run feasibility studies, risk assessments, and top-line cost estimates
- Manage budgets, cost approvals, and value engineering, all while protecting build quality
- Oversee programming, schedules, and key milestones across several projects at once
- Lead tender processes and contractor procurement to secure the best value and capability
- Coordinate consultants, including design, M&E, and specialist contractors
- Keep strong control of health and safety, statutory compliance, and CDM obligations
- Act as the primary client contact, producing clear, accurate reporting and building long-term, trusted relationships
You might be our perfect match if…
- You have proven experience as a construction or fit-out Project Manager, ideally within hospitality or F&B
- Your background is in consultancy or construction, rather than infrastructure, tech, design, or events
- You have a strong understanding of commercial kitchens, including HVAC, M&E coordination, and operational requirements
- You have delivered high-quality interior fit-outs across hospitality, retail, leisure, or F&B
- You are confident managing contractors, consultants, and client-side stakeholders at once
- You are commercially astute, with strong cost control and value engineering experience
- You have solid knowledge of health and safety legislation and construction compliance
- CSCS and SMSTS are a nice-to-have, and a full UK driving licence with the flexibility to travel nationally is needed
