Project Manager

Job Description

Project Manager - Social Housing Refurbishment. Location: Lewisham, London. Salary: £70,000 - £85,000. Start: ASAP. We are recruiting a Project Manager for a contractor delivering refurbishment and maintenance works in Lewisham. The role covers individual property refurbishments typically valued at £20,000-£100,000, as well as standalone projects converting buildings into residential accommodation. With around £10 million of work planned over the next three years, this is an opportunity to take a leading role in a growing housing division.

Responsibilities:

• Manage a team of 6-7 people, including Site Managers, and keep multiple refurbishments running at once
• Visit properties, carry out surveys, define scopes of work and appoint the right contractors
• Oversee approximately three new properties each week, with typical refurbishment programmes of 6-7 weeks
• Maintain detailed trackers covering progress, costs and handovers
• Oversee façade works alongside the wider refurbishment programme
• Build a strong working relationship with Lewisham Council and manage its expectations on delivery

What we're looking for

• You’ll have Project Manager experience in social housing refurbishment, council housing or housing acquisition programmes.
• Experience with a major housing contractor or housing association would be relevant, but you must be comfortable getting into the detail of each property: assessing the work required, managing the programme and resolving issues on site.
• You’ll understand refurbishment processes from a contractor's perspective and be confident managing both a site team and a demanding council client.
