Job Title: Senior Project Manager / Delivery Lead
Location: Central London
Position Type: Permanent / PAYE
Salary/Package: £65,000 - £85,000 + Package

About the Company

Linsco Recruitment Ltd is an established national construction workforce provider operating since 1978. Our dedicated National Fit-Out & Interiors Division partners with the UK’s leading workspace, retail, and specialist subcontracting partners. We are currently managing an exclusive permanent mandate for a rapidly scaling, ultra-premium London architectural finishes and commercial fit-out contractor.

The Role

This is a strategic career step-up for an ambitious, high-performing Project Manager ready to transition into senior leadership. We are seeking a stable professional to help build, lead, and scale the project delivery function over the coming years. Working directly alongside the Commercial Director and business owners, you will transition out of corporate red tape and step into an environment where you hold genuine operational autonomy, visible business impact, and a clear path toward equity status.

Key Duties & Responsibilities

* Delivery Function Leadership: Taking full operational control of the live project delivery pipeline, managing complex commercial packages, fast-track workspace interior handovers, and high-spec specialist subcontract packages.

* Commercial & Pre-Con Management: Partnering directly with the Commercial Director to spearhead pre-construction planning, client workshops, design coordination, estimating, and the administration of JCT contract scopes.

* Subcontractor & Supply Chain Control: Driving absolute site accountability, programming daily delivery targets, and managing high-end trade interfaces to protect corporate project margins.

* Business Scaling & Mentorship: Acting as a core pillar of the company’s expansion plan by building, structuralizing, and leading the project delivery teams as the contract pipeline grows.

* Quality Assurance & Handover: Overseeing defect prevention and progressive quality sign-offs through all project stages to secure immaculate, high-standard client handovers.

Requirements & Compliance Vetting

To align with our client’s strict stability, loyalty, and performance frameworks, all applicants must pass our internal vetting process:

* Proven Longevity: A stable career history demonstrating 5 to 10 years of loyalty within a single commercial fit-out or specialist subcontracting business (freelance job-hoppers will not be considered).

* Upward Trajectory Mindset: You must be a high-achieving Project Manager actively looking for your first true senior leadership step-up, rather than simply chasing your next job.

* Fit-Out Pedigree: A flawless, verifiable track record delivering commercial Cat A/Cat B workplace schemes, high-end interior refurbishments, or complex specialist trade packages in London.

* Technical & Commercial Sharpness: Deep understanding of JCT contracts, look-ahead programming (Asta/MSP), and excellent client-facing polish.

* Qualifications: NVQ Level 6/7 (Black CSCS Managerial Card), SMSTS, and First Aid at Work certifications.

* Right-to-Work: Full biometric Right-to-Work documentation (Passport or Share Code).

What We Offer

* Career Progression: Immediate exposure to ownership and a transparent, unblocked path to Operations Director / Board Equity.

* Long-Term Commitments: A permanent, highly competitive PAYE salary package complete with performance-linked bonuses that directly reward project profitability.

* Director-Led Support: Managed confidentially by a specialized Linsco Interiors division with a 7am–7pm delivery desk to fully support you through the interview and transition process.
