Verve Workspace
is much more than a provider of office interiors and office furniture —we're a trusted partner in creating vibrant, highly functional workspaces. Founded in 2004 in Northampton, we love what we do and always strive to get better every day.
Over the last two decades, we've weathered recessions, Brexit, and a global pandemic, emerging stronger by prioritising long-term client relationships, fiscal responsibility, transparency, integrity, and choice. Recently, we celebrated being named
Best Business Furniture and Interiors Specialist
at the 2023 British Made Awards, marking nearly 20 years of delivering outstanding service and design to clients across the UK. We're also finalists in the 'Business of the Year' for which we're very proud of.
When you join Verve Workspace, you're not just joining a company—you're joining a strong team that's built on enjoying what we do, being great at what we do for our clients, and working hard together whilst having fun. We're a close knit team that genuinely wants each other to succeed, and every member of the team is important to the success of Verve.
What we're looking for:
As our Junior Project Manager, you'll be the heartbeat of project delivery—working alongside our sales team to ensure each project runs smoothly from handover to completion. You'll be a great communicator, and great with people. As the client contact while a project is being carried out, you will be the face of Verve.
You will:
* Serve as the on-site client and contractor liaison for the duration of each project, although not permanently on any one client site. Projects vary in size.
* You'll be preparing planning, providing Gantt charts, making sure CDM preparation is taken care of and that a project plan is in place.
* Work with our operations team to coordinate suppliers, subcontractors, deliveries, and ensure strict adherence to timelines and quality controls.
* Tackle hands-on tasks—from inspecting installations to snagging checklists, with a willingness to get involved on-site.
* Maintain clear documentation: progress updates, health & safety compliance, snagging reports, and client feedback.
* Anticipate challenges and troubleshoot effectively with lateral thinking and composure.
* Embrace project management systems, digital tools, and reporting methodologies that keep projects transparent and on track. Plan project timelines and prepare CDM regulatory paperwork.
* Lot's more besides as the role develops....
We're looking for someone who brings both structure and flexibility, as well as a 'can do' attitude and the ability to go the extra mile for our clients. Ideally you'll be:
* From a related background in interiors, fit-out projects, construction, or technical coordination—whether through education or hands-on experience.
* Open to graduates, or those with on the job experience.
* Natural organiser with meticulous attention to detail.
* Confident communicator who can liaise professionally with clients, contractors, and internal teams.
* Prepared to be "hands-on"—helping with installations, site setups, or field checks as needed.
* Passionate about design-driven environments and delivering excellent client experiences.
Why Join Verve Workspace?
* We're a well-established, independently-owned business that's thrived through change.
* We're financially stable and fiscally responsible.
* We're a creative company, and our own workspace is a tangible reflection of our innovative design philosophy. We're proud of what we do - and we practice what we preach.
* You'll be part of a friendly team who help each other. Learn from experts in our field, take on real responsibility from day one, and have a voice in making our processes better every day.
* Work at an award-winning company known for its forward-thinking approach and client care.
* We're a tight-knit team that's collaborative, supportive, and genuinely proud of what we do.
Details:
* Based at our Northamptonshire HQ in Milton Malsor, with frequent client-site visits across the UK. We don't offer home working as we feel working as a team together is vital to personal growth and project success.
* Full-time, with scope for professional development and progression.
* Competitive salary, company vehicle, training opportunities (e.g., project certifications), and performance incentives.
We'd love to hear from you if you're up for the challenge. This is a new role for us, and we're looking for someone who can help us shape it to make a real difference for our client experience. We want someone who is committed, reliable, honest and hardworking. You'll need to be resilient, positive and forward thinking.
You'll need a full UK driving license and you'll get a company vehicle, so a clean license (or very nearly).
