(Commercial Office Projects – Project Management & Contract Administration)
Remote | London-Based Consultancy
Up to £85,000 DOE + 20% Bonus structure per monthly target + full autonomy + 25 Days Holiday + BH

This is an exceptional opportunity for a Chartered Surveyor, whether recently qualified or experienced, who wants to move into a role with real autonomy, strong client exposure, and no unnecessary red tape.

You’ll join a specialist project management and building surveying consultancy with a reputation for delivering intelligent, tailored solutions to high profile occupier and private equity clients, working with some tier 1 companies including Associated British Foods, River Island, Pokémon and Sainsburys.

As the Director steps back from hands-on delivery to focus on business development, they are now seeking a motivated individual to take the lead on projects and drive results in a supported, entrepreneurial environment.
Unlike traditional consultancy structures, this role is not rigid or overly hierarchical. You’ll have the freedom to shape how you work, build meaningful client relationships, and deliver projects end to end with confidence. You’ll work remotely with access to a stunning London office to collaborate with the team.

The culture is relaxed, professional, and entirely outcomes focused.
The role offers a rare chance to take full ownership of your work – and if you’re interested in building and leading a team in the future, that path is fully open to you. If you’d rather remain hands-on and client-facing, that’s just as welcome. The Director is looking for someone who wants to take responsibility, not tick boxes.

Responsibilities:

• Deliver commercial office fit-out and refurbishment projects across the UK (typically £1m–£10m+)
• Lead projects from inception through completion, including post-completion and defects
• Act as Employer’s Agent, overseeing programme, procurement, and contractor coordination
• Manage project contracts (primarily JCT), financial reporting, and risk
• Serve as primary liaison with clients, consultants, and stakeholders
• Ensure project quality, compliance, and client satisfaction throughout

Requirements:

• MRICS status essential (recently qualified or experienced welcome)
• Strong experience in project management and contract administration
• Some exposure to office projects (scale or timing doesn’t matter)

You do not need to have Cat A or Cat B fit-out experience to be considered for this role. While delivering commercial office projects is a key part of the position, full fit-out expertise is not a requirement. What’s essential is a willingness to engage with this type of work and develop your understanding. If you have prior experience in office fitouts, that’s advantageous-but by no means a prerequisite.
