• Logistics Management: Oversee Central London site logistics, deliveries, and access/egress restrictions smoothly.

• Stakeholder Management: Liaise directly with project managers, clients, architects, and building management teams.

• Quality Control: Enforce high finishing standards and manage the snagging/handover process.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven Experience: Demonstrable track record as a No.1 Site Manager delivering commercial fit out projects (£500k–£3m range).

• Skills: Excellent communication, strong problem-solving abilities, and a hands-on, proactive approach to driving site progress.
