Internal Finishing Managers x 2 (Freelance)

• Position: Freelance Internal Finishing Manager (2 vacancies)

• Project Type: Large-scale Commercial Build

• Location: Coventry

• Start Date: Immediate / Upcoming

• Duration: Temp / Freelance Contract (To cover the project lifecycle)

• Scope: White wall stage through to final handover

On behalf of our client, a leading main contractor, we are seeking two experienced Freelance Internal Finishing Managers to drive the interior fit-out of a high-profile, fast-paced commercial development in Coventry.

This is a pure delivery role. You will take ownership of designated floors/zones from the white wall stage (post-drylining) all the way through first/second fix, specialist finishes, and ultimate final handover to the client.

• Subcontractor Drive: Push and manage sub-contractors daily to ensure internal fit-outs conform strictly to architectural specifications and fast-paced program benchmarks.

• Digital Defect Management: Manage the entire snagging and de-snagging lifecycle digitally. You will be responsible for logging, allocating, and closing out items in real time.

• Progress Tracking: Work closely with the Senior Project Manager to ensure the finishing program hits critical milestone dates.

• Handover Preparation: Lead pre-handover inspections, coordinate client walkthroughs, and ensure zero-defect delivery for your zones.

• Health & Safety: Maintain a clean, safe, and organized working environment across all finishing trades.

My client is looking for sharp, autonomous freelance managers who can hit the ground running without hand-holding. To be successful, you must meet the following criteria:

• Commercial Freelance Track Record: Proven experience as a Freelance Finishing Manager or Section Manager on large-scale commercial or high-density projects.

• Tech-Savvy Mindset: You must be highly proficient with modern digital snagging and field management software (e.g., FieldView, Procore, SnagR, Dalux, or similar). Manual paper snags won't cut it on this project.

• Eye for Detail: An uncompromising attitude toward quality finishes, with the ability to spot defects early and rectify them before they impact the program.

• Communication: Strong personality to hold subcontractors accountable to standard, alongside the professionalism required to interface directly with the end client during handovers.

• Valid CSCS Card (Supervisory or Management)

• SMSTS or SSSTS

• First Aid at Work
