The Estates Projects Services team are now seeking a Senior Project Manager to play a lead role in the planning, development and delivery of capital projects at Kew. The role will oversee the delivery of complex construction and decarbonisation projects (including significant M&E packages) on protected and constrained sites. The Senior Project Manager will take on the role as client representative, capable of leading and influencing key, multifaceted stakeholder groups.
We are seeking an individual that has demonstrable experience of leading complex conservation and refurbishment projects in a comparable context. You will have strong technical skills and will be adept at managing projects from relatively small-scale conservation or M&E infrastructure replacement works to major refurbishment schemes, preferably being delivered in live, operational high public footfall environments.
