Senior Project Manager – High-End Residential
Salary: Up to £90,000 + Package
Location: Office-based (Surrey)
We are working with an established and growing bespoke high-end residential contractor delivering complex, design-led projects for private clients. The business specialises in premium residential construction, refurbishment, and fit-out, with a strong reputation for quality, discretion, and repeat client work.
As part of a planned growth strategy towards £10–12m turnover, they are now seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager to take full ownership of multiple projects and play a critical role in relieving director-level pressure.
This is a hands-on, office-based project management role, suited to someone who thrives on responsibility, decision-making, and commercial ownership.
The Senior Project Manager’s Role
The Senior Project Manager will take responsibility for managing and delivering circa £5m of work across two or more concurrent projects, predominantly within the high-end residential sector.
This is not a site manager role. Site presence is required when appropriate, but the emphasis is on project ownership, coordination, and delivery from a desk.

Proven experience as a Project Manager / Senior Project Manager within high-end residential construction in the UK.
Experience managing multiple projects simultaneously with combined values of £4–6m+
Strong commercial awareness and understanding of cost, margin, and risk
Ability to operate with autonomy and take genuine responsibility for outcomes
Confidence managing consultants, subcontractors, and demanding private clients
A proactive, driven mindset
Experience in smaller or mid-sized contractors where accountability is real
Strong organisational, communication, and decision-making skills
Must hold good longevity at previous employers and have solid UK experience
.
This role will not suit candidates who are primarily site managers, or those looking to move away from site work without committing to an office-based project management career long-term.
In Return?
Salary up to £90,000, depending on experience
Comprehensive
High level of autonomy and trust
Direct access to senior decision-makers
A key role in a growing business with clear long-term opportunity
The chance to genuinely influence how projects are run and delivered
