London Polished Concrete (LPC) is a market leader in the supply and installation of solid polished concrete and microcement floor systems.

A hands-on, delivery-focused role. You’ll manage the programme, quality, logistics and financial controls across a mix of projects — interfacing with LPC’s in-house team, subcontractors, main contractors and client teams to ensure work is delivered on time, to spec and within budget.

Project delivery & programme

  • Review scope, drawings and programme requirements for each project
  • Create and maintain 2–3 week lookahead programmes
  • Coordinate works across trades (screeders, polishers, finishers)
  • Flag risks to drying times, sequencing or handovers early
  • Track site activities daily; adapt the schedule where needed
  • Ensure quality controls and finishing specifications are met

Commercial oversight

  • Track budgets, labour days, material quantities and variations
  • Approve timesheets and subcontractor payments aligned with scope
  • Record all costs and submit reports for reconciliation via Xero
  • Prepare EOD / weekly financial reports (budget vs actuals)

Health & safety

  • Prepare and issue RAMS for each project
  • Lead toolbox talks and inductions; ensure PPE and COSHH compliance
  • Monitor clean, safe working conditions on all live sites
  • Report incidents or near misses promptly

Site operations

  • Act as site lead when required
  • Direct site teams and ensure correct application sequencing and timings
  • Approve substrates and inspect each phase of installation
  • Resolve site issues quickly, with minimal programme impact

Materials & logistics

  • Confirm required products (mesh, primers, finish coats)
  • Manage deliveries, on-site storage and hire equipment (sanders, extractors, etc.)
  • Avoid over-ordering; optimise stock across sites

Quality & handover

  • Inspect and approve each stage of finish
  • Manage the live snagging log; agree and resolve issues on the go
  • Conduct pre-handover checks and deliver final sign-off
  • Provide client care and maintenance guides

Client & contractor liaison

  • Be the main point of contact for site managers, QS teams and LPC clients
  • Send daily / weekly progress updates with photos
  • Agree variations in writing and communicate clearly at every stage
  • Represent LPC with professionalism and clarity

Required skills & experience

  • Minimum 3–5 years managing construction packages (ideally finishes or flooring)
  • Familiar with microcement / polished concrete systems (highly desirable)
  • Strong understanding of site logistics, programming and sequencing
  • Confident reading drawings and scopes
  • Experience working alongside main contractors (Tier 1 / 2) on live projects
  • Able to use SmartSuite / MS Teams or similar for task & document tracking
  • Clear, calm, proactive communicator under pressure
  • Strong attention to detail and a hands-on delivery mentality

What we offer
