Senior Project Manager
Super-Prime Main Contractor | £10m Flagship Scheme | Central London
The Opportunity
We are working with a highly regarded super-prime main contractor delivering some of the finest private residential and mixed-use projects in London and the Home Counties.
They are now seeking an exceptional Senior Project Manager to take full responsibility for a £10 million flagship scheme, while also acting as a mentor and sounding board to three Project Managers within the business.
This role offers direct access to the business owners, significant autonomy, and a clear pathway into an operational / leadership role upon successful completion of the project.
