Part of what makes our sites at The Inn Collection Group so special is the buildings themselves.

From new-build destinations such as Seaburn Inn, to listed properties like the Black Swan in Helmsley, and iconic landmarks such as the one pictured above in Tynemouth, no two projects are ever the same.

Each property is carefully refurbished to an exceptionally high standard, creating the unique character and quality that The Inn Collection Group is known for.

The Project Manager will take ownership of the implementation, progress and ultimate delivery of The Inn Collection Group’s (ICG) projects.

This includes all planning, scheduling and financial aspects of each project.

The Project Manager is the key driver behind project progress, with strong organisation and coordination skills being paramount to the role, given the high volume and varied scope of projects.
