Role Overview
We are recruiting a Project Manager to oversee the delivery of small works and smaller-scale projects within the fire industry. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys managing multiple live jobs, coordinating engineers and subcontractors, and seeing work through from survey to completion.
The projects will not be large-scale, high-value programmes, but rather a steady flow of smaller, fast-moving works that require strong organisation, customer communication, and commercial awareness.
As a Project Manager, you will be hands-on, site-aware, and comfortable managing several jobs at once while ensuring compliance, quality, and profitability.
Key Responsibilities
Manage the delivery of small works and project jobs from initial survey through to completion
Attend site to assess scope, design requirements, and installation needs
Compile technical quotations in line with industry standards and internal pricing tools
Liaise with customers to manage expectations and improve quote-to-order conversion
Coordinate engineers and subcontractors to ensure works are completed on time
Schedule works and resources efficiently across multiple live jobs
Maintain accurate records using the company ERP system
Monitor progress and provide regular updates to internal stakeholders
Identify risks and resolve issues that may impact delivery
Raise purchase orders for materials and subcontract services
Track delivery of parts to site or engineers
Invoice customers and follow up as required
Complete project handovers and resolve any post-completion issues
Ensure health and safety compliance at all times, including PPE and safe working practices
Support quality audits and health & safety toolbox talks
Experience & Skills Required
Proven Project Manager experience within fire systems, ideally small works or service-led projects

Strong organisational skills and ability to manage multiple jobs concurrently
Commercial awareness including quoting and margin control
Confident communicator with strong customer service skills
