Job Description:

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.

Job Responsibility:

  • Collaborating across Business Development, Investment, Commercial and Operations to identify opportunities, shape briefs, and provide research, financial insight, design input and technical guidance across all areas of property development
  • Driving the evolution of brand and environmental concepts, reviewing operator and marketing briefs, developing trial proposals, and preparing material for board approval, including Executive Summary Reports, CAFs and scheme drawings
  • Ensuring statutory compliance and estate governance, advising business units on legal requirements, supporting licensing and approvals, and managing specialist consultants to secure planning consent for new developments and refurbishments
  • Maintaining and leveraging estate data, keeping historical investment, KPIs, room numbers, brand details and project records up to date, and feeding this information into business planning and cross‑functional decision‑making
  • Leading project delivery and performance management, overseeing consultant teams, monitoring time, cost and quality, producing monthly reporting packs and ad‑hoc analysis, and ensuring all projects meet required standards from inception to completion

Requirements:

  • Proven expertise in project and programme management, with a track record of delivering multiple complex projects, managing large budgets, and operating effectively within multi‑disciplined organisations
  • Strong leadership, communication and stakeholder‑management skills, with the confidence to challenge at all levels, negotiate effectively, and work collaboratively as part of a high‑performing team
  • Commercially aware and operationally astute, with solid decision‑making capability, understanding of end‑to‑end process ownership, and ideally experience in hospitality, leisure, spatial planning, design or investment appraisal
  • Competent in managing external consultants and statutory processes, including planning, licensing and compliance, with the ability to guide teams, interpret technical information and maintain accurate estate and project data
  • Full driving licence required
What we offer:
  • Bonus 20%
  • Bupa Healthcare
  • Up to 10% Contributory pension
  • Car provided for over 10,000 miles a year
