Build something exceptional

This is an exciting opportunity to join an established, design-led business specialising in premium architectural door systems and bespoke solutions for high-end residential projects.

Working with leading architects, interior designers, contractors and discerning private clients, the business operates in a market where quality, design, technical expertise and attention to detail are paramount.

Now, the business is entering an exciting new phase — expanding its offering into installation and bespoke joinery to provide clients with a broader, more complete package.

We're looking for an experienced Senior Project Manager to play a pivotal role in making that happen.

This isn't simply a role managing existing projects. You'll help build and lead the Project Management function, develop standards and processes, manage a small PM team and establish the operational capability needed to deliver increasingly complex door, joinery and installation packages.

The role

You'll lead projects from technical design coordination through to installation and handover, working closely with architects, designers, contractors, clients and specialist subcontractors.

You'll be responsible for:

  • Leading premium door, joinery and installation projects from design through to completion.
  • Managing and developing a small Project Management team.
  • Coordinating technical design, manufacture and installation.
  • Managing specialist subcontractors and installation teams.
  • Maintaining exceptional standards of quality, programme and client service.
  • Managing project costs, gross profit and commercial risk.
  • Developing the processes and systems required to scale the installation and joinery offering.
  • Visiting clients and sites and resolving technical issues before they become problems.
  • Helping shape how the business delivers projects as it grows.

The role is deliberately hands-on — we're looking for someone who enjoys being close to the detail rather than managing entirely from a distance.

Ideally, you'll come from a high-end joinery, fit-out, interiors or specialist construction background and have experience delivering complex, premium projects.

You'll need:

  • Strong project management and leadership experience.
  • A good understanding of bespoke joinery, manufacture and installation.
  • Experience managing subcontractors and site teams.
  • Excellent technical and commercial awareness.
  • Experience working with demanding clients, architects and designers.
  • A strong eye for quality, detail and finish.
  • The ability to build processes, raise standards and develop people.
  • A pragmatic, solutions-focused approach and the ambition to make a genuine impact.

Practical joinery and installation experience is particularly valuable, with installation/site management and joinery-led project delivery specifically identified as key experience areas

Why join?

The business is at an exciting point in its growth.

You'll be joining an established premium brand but at a stage where you can genuinely influence what comes next — helping develop the business from a specialist designer and supplier of premium door systems into a broader provider of premium doors, bespoke joinery and installation.

You'll lead the team, shape the processes, influence the standards and have the opportunity to progress into the wider management team as the business develops.

  • £85,000 – £95,000 basic salary
  • Company Car
  • Bonus
  • Salary negotiable for the right candidate
  • Hybrid working considered

If you're an ambitious Senior Project Manager with a strong joinery or specialist interiors background and want the opportunity to build something rather than simply inherit it, we'd like to hear from you.
