Do you enjoy seeing projects through from idea to completion -keeping people connected, solving problems, and making sure everything runs smoothly?

If you're practical, proactive, and love variety in your day, this could be the role for you.

What You'll Do

Act as the link between clients, internal teams, and subcontractors, making sure everyone's on the same page.
Keep clients informed with regular updates and clear communication.
Coordinate all the moving parts, schedules, drawings, materials, and installation teams.
Step in quickly when something goes off-track, whether it's a delivery issue, site snag, or timeline clash.
Visit sites 1-2 days a week to check progress, support the team, and build relationships with clients.
Help ensure each project is delivered safely, smoothly, and with a professional touch.

The team you'll work with

You'll report to our Contracts Manager and work closely with:

Schedulers who keep projects on track
Technical specialists who review drawings and fixings
Installation teams and subcontractors
Dedicated admin support
You'll have the freedom to plan and manage your workload your way - within a supportive, collaborative environment

Requirements

This isn't a corporate project management role — it's for someone who loves making things happen day to day.

You'll fit right in if you:

Have experience running multiple small-to-medium projects (ideally from an operations or subcontractor background).

Know your way around construction or working-at-height environments (helpful, not essential).

Stay calm under pressure and have great organisational skills.

Are driven, down-to-earth, and always looking for ways to improve how things are done.

What you'll need

CSCS Card - essential
SMSTS - essential
Working at Height Awareness - ideal
PASMA - ideal

Benefits

You won't get lost in a big hierarchy here.

As part of a small but growing team, you'll have a real say in how projects are delivered — and see the direct results of your work every week.

Our projects typically range from £50k-£100k, installing specialist working-at-height equipment on high-rise buildings. You'll help keep 30-50 live projects moving, each with its own challenges and rewards.
