Project Manager Construction

Project Manager – Super-Prime Heritage Residential
Location: Wimbledon - South West London
Salary: £80,000 – £100,000 + package
Type: Permanent | Full-time
A rare chance to take full ownership of one of London's most characterful heritage restorations. A Grade II* listed residence in South West London - Jacobean in origin with layers of Georgian and Victorian history, is undergoing a full restoration alongside a new two-storey basement. We're looking for an experienced Project Manager to lead it end to end - modernising the home sensitively while protecting everything that gives it its character.
This is a single-project, career-defining role for a Project Manager who reports directly to the principal and owns the programme, the budget and the standard.
As Project Manager, you will:
* Lead the project from pre-construction through to handover
* Manage complex structural and heritage works, including the two-storey basement
* Coordinate architects, structural engineers, interior designers and specialist trades
* Integrate modern services and structural interventions discreetly, with no impact on the building's character
* Deliver world-class finishes and bespoke detailing to private-client standards
* Liaise with the local authority and conservation bodies on listed-building compliance
* Keep tight control of budget and programme under JCT or bespoke contracts
* Act as the day-to-day site leader and main client point of contact
You'll need
* 10+ years as a Project Manager in prime/super-prime London residential
* Proven delivery on heritage refurbishments and complex basements (£10m+)
* Experience as a Project Manager working directly with UHNW private clients
* Strong working knowledge of Georgian, Palladian and Victorian styles
* Confidence dealing with Historic England, conservation officers and planning
* Solid commercial and contract management (JCT, bespoke)
* Comfort across both traditional craft (lime plaster, timber sashes) and modern methods
* RICS, CIOB or APM preferred; SPAB or IHBC heritage training a strong plus
On offer
* £80,000–£100,000 depending on experience
* Discretionary performance-related bonus
* A genuinely iconic project to put your name to
