Job Description
Landscape Project Manager
/n
Buckinghamshire & the South East | Full-time
/n
We are looking for an experienced Landscape Project Manager - or an exceptional Senior Site Manager ready to take the next step - to take ownership of the delivery of our high-end landscape projects.
/n
About us
/n
We design and builds exceptional gardens and landscapes across Buckinghamshire, the Home Counties and London.
/n
Our projects are varied, technically interesting and beautifully detailed, combining hard and soft landscaping with elements such as pools, structures, lighting, irrigation and bespoke features.
/n
This is a hands-on project management role for someone who understands how landscapes are actually built and enjoys making projects happen.
/n
The Role
/n
You will take ownership of projects from pre-construction and mobilisation through to practical completion, working with our design, commercial and site teams to deliver them safely, profitably, on programme and to an exceptional standard.
/n
You will be the principal day-to-day point of contact for the client throughout construction, building strong relationships, keeping them informed, managing expectations and dealing confidently and professionally with the issues and decisions that inevitably arise during a complex landscape project.
/n
You will be responsible for the whole picture: planning the works, coordinating people and resources, managing clients and subcontractors, keeping control of programme and cost, solving problems before they become problems, and ensuring that the finished landscape reflects the quality of the original design.
/n
On a typical project, you will:
/n
/n
- Develop and manage the construction programme
/n
- Lead client liaison throughout the build, providing clear, proactive communication and managing expectations
/n
- Coordinate site teams, subcontractors, plant, materials and specialist suppliers
/n
- Plan ahead for procurement and resource requirements
/n
- Manage project costs, variations and commercial performance
/n
- Identify programme, buildability and delivery risks early
/n
- Lead and support Foremen and site teams
/n
- Coordinate effectively with designers, architects and other consultants and contractors
/n
- Monitor quality and drive a right-first-time approach
/n
- Manage snagging, handover and project completion
/n
- Ensure excellent health and safety standards throughout
/n
/n
Who We Are Looking For
/n
You may already be managing high-end landscape projects, or you may be a Senior Site Manager who has reached the point where you are ready for greater responsibility and ownership.
/n
Either way, you will need strong construction and landscaping knowledge and the ability to see both the detail and the bigger picture.
/n
We are particularly interested in people who are:
/n
/n
- Highly organised and able to manage several moving parts at once
/n
- Proactive rather than reactive
/n
- Commercially aware and comfortable working with budgets
/n
- Confident managing programmes, subcontractors and site teams
/n
- Good communicators who are comfortable dealing directly with discerning clients
/n
- Calm and solutions-focused when projects become challenging
/n
- Comfortable with project administration and technology
/n
- Able to hold people accountable while building positive working relationships
/n
- Genuine completer-finishers who take pride in seeing a project delivered properly
