Junior Ductwork Project Manager in Hatfield, Hertfordshire

Junior Ductwork Project Manager | Retail & Commercial Fit-Out

£45,000–£55,000 depending on experience + company vehicle + bonus
25 days’ holiday plus bank holidays
Hertfordshire | London and surrounding project sites

Ready to move from fitting or supervising ductwork into project management? Join a specialist ventilation contractor and learn how to run a ductwork package from the first site measure through installation, testing and handover.

You’ll work alongside experienced Project Managers on retail and commercial fit-outs, including projects where ceiling space is tight, finishes matter and the opening date drives the programme. You’ll start by coordinating defined parts of the job, with scope to take on smaller packages as you build experience.

Why this role?

Your site experience will be useful from day one. Knowing whether a duct run can actually be installed, whether there’s enough access for a damper or whether a delivery needs to be split can save days on a fast-moving fit-out. You’ll use that judgement while learning how to programme works, order materials, manage labour and keep clients and other trades informed.

What you’ll be doing

• Check ductwork layouts against site conditions and flag clashes, access restrictions or changes before sections go into manufacture.

• Coordinate ductwork, grilles, dampers, fans and other equipment with the design team, workshop and suppliers.

• Organise deliveries and help plan fitter and subcontractor labour around site access, ceiling closures and programme deadlines.

• Attend site meetings, track progress and follow up on technical queries and changes to scope.

• Check installation quality and help close out snagging, testing, commissioning and handover records.

What you’ll bring

You’ve worked with commercial ductwork or ventilation as a fitter, chargehand, supervisor, site engineer or project coordinator. You can read ductwork drawings, talk through how an installation goes together and communicate clearly with fitters, suppliers and site managers. Retail, hospitality or other fast-moving fit-out experience would be useful.

If you’re stepping up from the tools, tell us about a job where you helped organise labour, spotted a problem with the drawings or kept an installation moving when the plan changed.
