Project Manager – Heritage & Restoration South West London (projects initially at Hampton Court Palace and Windsor Castle) Main company offices nr Charing X Circa £60k–£70k | Long-term opportunity If you’ve ever: • Looked at a defect in a 500-year-old wall and thought, well… that predates the snagging list • Managed specialist trades where the materials are older than most construction companies • Had the instinct to ask, before drilling into something, whether Henry VIII may have walked past it first …this may be worth a look. I’m working on a Project Manager role overseeing two heritage projects at a time, with Site Managers on each job - so this is less hard-hat site management, more coordination, oversight and orchestration. You’d be joining a contractor that has been doing heritage, restoration and conservation work for decades - this isn’t a business dabbling in listed buildings because the market got fashionable. This is what they do. Stone, fabric repairs, specialist restoration, complex live environments - delivered quietly, properly, and for some of the country’s most significant buildings. And not just any projects. Hampton Court. Windsor Castle. Buildings that have seen Tudors, civil wars, fires, restorations, coronations… and, in fairness, probably worse stakeholder management than most of us deal with now. Some heritage experience is important. Not necessarily someone who has spent a career restoring medieval buttresses by candlelight… But someone who understands that conservation work comes with different rules, different risks, and occasionally the possibility your “existing structure” predates modern plumbing. Projects are smaller in value, but highly specialist, technically rich, and the kind of work people stay in for years. Sometimes decades. Potentially longer than the reign of George III. If you’ve got some heritage exposure, can coordinate rather than micromanage, and like the idea of working somewhere Oliver Cromwell would have had opinions, we should talk. And yes - if walls could talk, these ones would probably dispute the programme. Feel free to get in touch if this sounds of interest. Spencer Wade (phone number removed) (url removed)
