Project Manager

A fantastic opportunity for an experienced Project Manager to join the property team of a well-established, family-owned business with a much-loved estate across the North West.

Based from their Head Office in Stockport, you’ll take the lead on a varied portfolio of refurbishment, development and capital investment projects across a diverse estate — from destination pubs and hospitality spaces to brewery, production and head office facilities.

This is a genuinely hands-on role where you’ll have ownership from initial brief and feasibility through to completion, working closely with internal stakeholders, consultants and contractors to deliver projects that balance commercial performance, quality and the character of the existing estate.

If you enjoy variety, working across different types of property and seeing projects come to life, this is a great opportunity to make a visible impact.
