Full-Time
We are seeking an experienced Construction Project Manager to lead the delivery of high-quality projects within the fine finish automotive showroom sector. This is a role for a detail-driven professional who understands the importance of programme certainty, financial discipline, and exceptional finish standards in premium customer-facing environments.

Working across showroom refurbishments and fit-outs, you will be responsible for driving projects from pre-construction through to handover, ensuring delivery on time, within budget, and to the exacting standards expected in prestige automotive retail.

Key Responsibilities

* Manage the full project lifecycle from planning and procurement through to completion and client handover.

* Develop, maintain, and drive detailed project programmes, ensuring key milestones are achieved.

* Implement robust programme controls, including critical path monitoring, short-term lookaheads, progress reporting, and recovery planning where needed.

* Take ownership of financial controls across the project, including budgeting, forecasting, cash flow management, cost reporting, change control, and final account management.

* Monitor and manage subcontractor performance, ensuring quality, progress, and commercial accountability.

* Lead site teams and coordinate all stakeholders including clients, consultants, suppliers, and subcontractors.

* Ensure high-end finishes are delivered in line with brand standards, technical specifications, and client expectations.

* Identify project risks early and put effective mitigation plans in place.

* Oversee health and safety compliance and ensure works are delivered in line with all statutory and company requirements.

* Produce clear and accurate project reporting on progress, cost, risk, and programme status.

What We’re Looking For

* Proven experience as a Project Manager within construction, fit-out, or refurbishment.

* Strong background in high-specification commercial interiors, ideally within automotive retail, luxury retail, or similarly finish-sensitive environments.

* Demonstrable experience in programme management and programme control on fast-paced live projects.

* Strong commercial awareness with hands-on experience of budget management, cost control, forecasting, and valuations.

* Ability to manage multiple stakeholders and maintain strong client relationships.

* Excellent attention to detail and commitment to quality.

* Strong leadership, negotiation, and communication skills.

* A proactive, organised, and solutions-focused approach.

Desirable

* Experience working in the automotive showroom or a similar high-specification commercial interiors sector.

* Relevant construction qualification in Project Management, Construction Management, Quantity Surveying, or similar.

* SMSTS, CSCS, and First Aid qualifications.

* Familiarity with contract administration and change management processes.

This is an opportunity to work on prestigious showroom environments where quality, brand presentation, and project control are critical. You will play a key role in delivering standout spaces that reflect some of the most recognisable automotive brands in the market.

If you are a project manager with a strong eye for finish, a disciplined approach to programme delivery, and a sharp handle on financial performance, we would like to hear from you
