Project Manager - Permanent | Stansted Airport | Interiors & Fit-Out
Location: Stansted Airport (gateway to Europe, Greggs, and inevitable delays)
Salary: Competitive (we're not saying it's private jet money, but it's definitely not Ryanair either)
Projects: £100k-£5mil - fast-paced, high-spec, airside works
About the role:
·We're on the lookout for a proper Project Manager. Not a clipboard carrier. Not a glorified assistant. Not someone who once "helped out" on a £100m job.
·We want a hands-on, all-rounder, sleeves-rolled-up Number 1 on site who gets the job done, keeps the team sane, and knows their way around an airport security pass.
·This is interiors and refurb work at Stansted Airport - Emirates-style lounges, offices, toilets that sparkle like a toothpaste advert, even the odd part-new-build thrown in for good measure.
·Framework projects range from £100k to £5mil. It's not Grand Designs, but it's busy, interesting, and needs someone who can juggle trades, logistics, and client updates without crying in the van.
Who you are:
·You're a construction-savvy site No1 - knows when to lead, when to listen, and when to get the kettle on
·You've run your own projects, not just assisted while hiding in the porta-cabin
·Fit-out and internals experience in sectors like retail, commercial, health or hospitality
·You thrive in live environments - airports, hospitals, schools - where you can't just bulldoze your way to progress
·SMSTS, CSCS, First Aid
About the company:
·They're a rock-solid interiors specialist with serious financial backing and a pipeline longer than a baggage claim queue. Big enough to have proper processes, small enough to still know your name. Working closely with top-tier contractors.
What you'll get:
·A steady flow of cracking projects - not one gig and ghost
·Real autonomy - no micromanaging from head office 200 miles away
·A culture that actually respects site teams (yes, really)
·Career progression that isn't a PowerPoint myth
·The joy of telling people, Yeah, I built that every time you fly out of STN
Yes, the above may sound like a bit of fun - but I'm a serious recruiter, working with a serious contractor. This is a genuinely great role.
