Your new company is a specialist in all aspects of facade remediation and replacement systems with full engineering, design, and installation. With many years of experience, including the replacement of glazing and curtain walls, cladding panels, EPS render, combustible insulation, brick and terracotta, and timber cladding and decks. Operating as a principal contractor, they have a long-established reputation for the effective co-ordination and management of suppliers, whilst resolving technical and installation issues on time and on budget. They cover a portfolio of customers across the whole of the UK from their base in the South and are enjoying an uptick in tender enquiries and so are planning to expand their team in the re-cladding market. The value of their projects ranges from £0.5 million to £10 million.

Your new role as a Senior Project Manager for multiple projects across the UK involves the replacement and re-fitting of Façade & Cladding elements of high-rise buildings. You will be part of the construction team reporting to the board of directors to support the business in planning and project management tasks. You will provide engineering and technical support for the processing of jobs from tender stage, through pre-construction, construction, and finally, the post-construction phase. You will be trained on their internal software systems and given an opportunity to influence the whole life cycle of a project from a principal contractor's perspective. You will be required to visit sites across the UK and influence the site management teams supporting them with technical & engineering solutions to ensure efficient delivery of the construction process to include site set-up, control of direct and subcontract labour, design co-ordination, health and safety, quality control, quality assurance, practical completion, hand over as well as post construction phase.

What you'll need to succeed is previous experience in the UK construction industry as a Project Manager within the cladding retro fit industry with a main building contractor or specialist subcontractor. You will hold a UK degree in engineering or construction or be chartered plus have a deep knowledge of the technical specifications of cladding and façade products and their application conforming to the most up-to-date building and fire regulations. You will have the right to work in the UK, have a full driving licence, have an important level of communication, numeracy, IT & digital skills and a good understanding of the construction process and compliance within the retro-fit industry. Diligence is vital due to the elevated level of compliance and governance required in the retro-clad sector. You will be able to work remotely and be willing to visit sites across the UK, and be based on site. Candidates with the ability to read drawings and understand AutoCAD would be desirable.

What you'll get in return is a permanent offer of employment with a competitive salary of £80,000 to £85,000 plus 28 days per annum paid holidays (including bank holidays) and a contributory pension scheme. Software training would be given and the opportunity for promotion based on performance, as the organisation aims to increase its turnover over the next budget year. You will be employed on a remote working agreement consisting of working from home combined with visits to the head office and site as and when required to attend meetings. Working hours are 07:30-16:30. Travel and accommodation costs will be paid.
