This is not a purely site-based role.

Key Responsibilities Site &&& Contractor Management - Manage and coordinate all subcontractors on site, ensuring works are delivered to programme, budget, and specification - Resolve on-site issues, conflicts, and delays in real time - Oversee health &&& safety compliance across all trades and site activity - Monitor quality of workmanship against the exacting standards expected on a super prime private residence Project Management - Own and maintain the master project programme, tracking milestones and critical path - Manage the overall project budget, including cost tracking, variations, and forecasting - Lead procurement of contractors, suppliers, and specialist trades, including tendering and contract negotiation - Coordinate with architects, interior designers, and other consultants to ensure design intent is delivered on site - Manage the change contr ol process, including client-requested variations - Produce regular progress reports for the client/principal, including programme, cost, and risk updates - Identify, track, and mitigate project risks proactively Client &&& Stakeholder Liaison - Act as the Owner&&'s representative and main point of contact for all contractors, consultants, and third parties involved in the project - Report directly to the Construction Director and Owner on progress, issues, and decisions required, in a clear and timely manner - Protect the Owner&&'s interests at all times, including on cost, quality, and programme - Liaise with local authorities, building contr ol, and other external stakeholders as needed **Quality, Compliance &&& Handover** - Ensure all works meet relevant building regulations and quality standards expected of a super prime residential project - Manage snagging and defects resolution through to practical completion - Oversee handover documentation, warranties, and O&&&M manuals Candidate Profile Experience - Proven track record managing super prime residential fit-out or construction projects, ideally at a similar scale (large private homes, super prime developments, or comparable top-tier residential projects) - Experience managing multiple trades and contractors simultaneously on a live site - Strong background in both site management and formal project management (this is a combined role - candidates who have only done one or the other should demonstrate clear transferable ability in the other) Skills - Strong programme and budget management skills, with confidence using relevant PM software/tools - Excellent contractor and stakeholder management - able to hold contractors to account while maintaining good working relationships - Sharp eye for detail and quality, appropriate to a super prime residential standard - Confident communicator, equally comfortable with tradespeople on site and with clients/designers in meetings - Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to make decisions under pressure - Discretion and professionalism - this is a private residence, and confidentiality matters Qualifications - Relevant qualification in construction management, project management, quantity surveying, or a related field (or equivalent experience) - Relevant H&&&S qualifications (e.g.

SMSTS, CSCS) preferred
