Project Manager - Construction / Fit‑Out (Office‑Based, Doncaster)

I’m recruiting for an experienced and highly organised Project Manager to join a specialist subcontractor operating within the commercial fit‑out sector. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing business undergoing positive team restructuring to support increasing project demand.

The company supplies and installs high‑quality internal timber doorsets, timber glazed screens and steel doorsets for major commercial fit‑out and refurbishment projects across London. With a head office in Doncaster and a small London satellite base, all project delivery is managed from the Doncaster office.

They’re now expanding their project delivery team and seeking a confident, detail‑driven Project Manager to take ownership of multiple projects from post‑sale through to handover.

The Role

You’ll manage 10–12 live projects at any one time, supported by a Project Coordinator and working closely with the wider delivery team. Projects vary in scale and complexity (typically up to £1.5–£2 million across multiple schemes).

The role is predominantly office‑based, with occasional travel to London sites (usually once per week or less) as required.

You’ll be responsible for:

  • Overseeing projects from design and scheduling through to practical completion
  • Liaising with clients and attending design/coordination meetings (mostly online)
  • Reviewing and producing drawings, schedules, samples and data sheets
  • Coordinating supplier pricing, orders and deliveries
  • Managing budgets, timelines, and key contract milestones
  • Preparing documentation such as RAMs, fitter packs and O&M information
  • Working closely with the Site Manager to ensure installation quality and compliance
  • Ensuring high standards of communication and service throughout the project lifecycle

Requirements

We’re looking for someone who thrives in a focused, calm and collaborative environment. You’ll be self‑motivated, able to work independently, and confident managing multiple priorities at pace.

You will ideally have:

  • Experience working within construction, main contracting or fit‑out (preferred, not essential)
  • Knowledge of subcontract delivery processes
  • Strong IT skills (Microsoft 365 essential; Excel particularly important)
  • Excellent communication and time‑management abilities
  • High attention to detail
  • A flexible, positive, “can‑do” attitude
  • CAD drawing capability (beneficial but not essential)

This business values people with the right attitude above all else. If you’re driven, reliable, and enjoy working with autonomy while still being part of a supportive team, this role offers real long‑term stability and progression.
