Job Description:
About the Company
Shade-Space and BAB Projects are specialist outdoor living and interior fit-out divisions of the Bright A Blind Group. Founded nearly 35 years ago in London, the group delivers high-quality, technically complex shading and specialist installations for some of the UK’s most prestigious commercial and residential clients.
The Role
We are seeking an experienced Field & Office Project Manager to manage technically driven shading and small-structure projects ranging from £5,000 to £500,000.
This is a hands-on, site-active role covering London and the Home Counties. It combines site surveys, site management, technical coordination, compliance, and client-facing project delivery.
This is not an office-based role. Regular site presence is a core requirement of the position.
Although we are a specialist business rather than a large corporate, this is a varied, fast-moving role with real responsibility and visibility across the company.
Key Responsibilities
Manage projects from post-order through to completion
Attend and/or carry out site surveys, taking accurate measurements for technical drawings
Coordinate installers, suppliers, and subcontractors for smooth delivery
Prepare and manage RAMS, permits, compliance documentation, and sign-offs
Site management, including troubleshooting installation issues and snags
Act as the main point of contact for clients on site
Proactively identify and resolve issues before they escalate
Liaise daily with sales, operations, suppliers, credit control, and directors
Provide clear progress updates across multi-phase projects at project meetings
Essential Requirements (Non-Negotiable)
Proven Project Management experience within construction, fit-out, or technical installation
Strong document management experience (applications without this will not be considered)
Experience working in compliance-heavy environments
CSCS card (SMSTS preferred)
Ability to read drawings and take accurate site measurements
Confident written and verbal communication skills
Proactive, organised, and comfortable working at pace
Willing and able to work regularly on site across multiple locations
Optional / Desirable Experience
Background in mechanical, electrical, steel, façade, glazing, or outdoor structures
High-end residential or commercial fit-out experience
Preferable located in the London area
Ability to identify, plan, and specify appropriate access equipment for installations, including scaffold towers, scissor lifts, boom lifts, and other MEWPs
Understanding of safe access planning and site constraints
IPAF, PASMA, or similar access-related certification (beneficial but not essential)
What We’re Looking For
A proactive self-starter who anticipates issues rather than reacts to them
A strong communicator comfortable dealing with clients, contractors, and internal teams
Someone calm under pressure with a practical, solutions-focused mindset
A team player who can work independently while keeping stakeholders aligned
What We Offer
Varied, technically interesting projects
A genuinely field-active Project Management role
Autonomy with support from experienced directors
Long-term opportunity within a growing specialist division
How to Apply
Please submit your CV along with a brief cover note outlining your relevant site-based Project Management and document management experience.
