Project Manager Construction

Samuel James Recruitment Ltd

Project Manager – Super-Prime Heritage Residential

Location:  Wimbledon - South West London

Salary:  £80,000 – £100,000 + package

Type:  Permanent  |  Full-time

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
