Work Level: 4 Field Based role covering the North of England and Scotland
We’re looking for a driven, forward‑thinking Project Manager to lead a diverse programme of property development across our core estate. This is a role for someone who thrives on complexity—overseeing refurbishments, delivering special projects, and pushing for continual improvements in time, cost and quality. You’ll champion innovation, bring industry‑leading technologies into our projects, and set the standard for excellence across every stage of delivery.
You’ll take full ownership of your programme from inception through to PCR, building and guiding high‑performing external consultant teams to ensure best value and consistent, efficient outcomes. This is a field‑based position suited to a self‑motivated professional who can operate with autonomy, navigate challenges calmly and systematically, and resolve issues at every level.
If you’re an experienced construction or property project manager with a passion for problem‑solving, a strong commercial mindset, and the confidence to challenge and collaborate with operational teams across restaurant and hotel environments, we’d love to hear from you.
