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
