Re you a hands-on trade professional who's ready to step slightly "off the tools" - without losing the practical side of the job?
We're a busy kitchen showroom looking for a practical, organised Project Manager / Installations Coordinator to bridge the gap between the showroom and the on-site contractors (plumbers, electricians, fitters, etc.).
If you've ever been a kitchen fitter (ideal), carpenter/joiner, site supervisor, or you've run jobs on site and know how installations really work, you'll feel right at home.
The role
You'll take day-to-day job logistics off the owners' plates - keeping installs moving, solving problems quickly, and making sure customers and contractors have what they need. This is a hybrid role: part coordination/admin, part practical on-site support (light fitting/snagging and problem solving).
What you'll be doing
Managing multiple kitchen installation projects from sign-off to completion
Coordinating trades and schedules (fitters, plumbers, electricians, decorators, delivery teams)
Being the "go-to" person for day-to-day site questions and problem solving
Visiting sites to check progress, resolve snags, and keep standards high
Doing light fitting/remedial tasks where appropriate (e.g., minor adjustments, basic fixes, snagging)
Ordering/reordering parts and materials, arranging deliveries, and delivering replacement parts when needed
Keeping customers updated and handling issues calmly and professionally
Maintaining job notes, timelines, and basic admin (email, spreadsheets, job sheets)
Who this suits
This is perfect for someone who:
Has worked in kitchen fitting / installations / joinery / construction
Can confidently talk to trades and understands sequencing (first fix/second fix, tiling, electrics, plumbing, finishing)
Is organised enough to run schedules, chase updates, and keep jobs on track
Still enjoys being practical and can handle minor fixes without fuss
What we're looking for (must-have)
Trades/site background (kitchen fitting experience is a big advantage)
Comfortable using hand/power tools and doing minor remedial work when needed
Strong coordination skills: scheduling, prioritising, chasing actions, attention to detail
Confident communicator with customers and contractors
Full UK driving licence (and happy to be on the road between showroom/sites)
Basic IT/admin ability (email, spreadsheets, job tracking)
Must have the legal right to work in the UK
Nice-to-have
Experience managing multiple installs at once
Knowledge of kitchen brands/components, worktops, appliances, and common fitting issues
Experience snagging and quality checking
Previous role as site supervisor, installation manager, or project coordinator
What you'll get
A key role in a growing kitchen business with real ownership and influence
Variety: showroom, site visits, problem solving, coordination
A team that values practical experience and common sense
