As Project Manager, you'll be number one on site, responsible for upstream reporting to senior leadership and downward management of site teams and subcontractors. You'll deliver well‑run, compliant, high‑quality schemes across London.

• Support preconstruction activities including surveys, methodology, buildability and logistics planning.

• Strong leadership capability with the ability to manage site teams and specialist subcontractors.
• Solid understanding of QA, golden thread requirements and building safety compliance.
