Construction Project Manager (Building Surveyor)

We’re looking for an experienced Construction Project Manager, with a building surveying background, to join our hugely talented Store Development team.  

About the Role

Reporting into the Senior Project Manager, this new role has been created to lead the design and build of key M&E infrastructure projects such as installing 250,000 square feet of solar panels onto the roof of Thatcham and the power resilience project in the Knightsbridge store, amongst others. These will be across the Knightsbridge store, our distribution centre in Thatcham, and our offices in Hammersmith and will require weekly travel to each site.  

As a Project Manager, you will have demonstrable experience of leading projects cradle to grave; you know how to manage contractors, advise on structural integrity and design, develop briefs with clients, select teams, tender with consultants and manage all works on site, all the way through to supply chain management – whilst continuously keeping the client informed and satisfied.    

You will bring M&E knowledge, so you can partner our in-house M&E experts effectively to provide the right solutions to our clients.  You will manage all financial aspects of the projects, including Harrods capital, supplier and combined funded projects.  

About You 

You will ideally have a degree (or equivalent experience) in a construction-related discipline, such as building surveying, and either have an MRICS qualification or be on your way to becoming chartered.

You’ll also have:

• Experience with infrastructure projects, mixed use or public use, with good knowledge of M&E.
• A uniquely keen eye for detail – you don’t let anything go unnoticed.
• Practical experience on site with the ability to guide and drive teams of technical experts.
• Excellent organisation and time management ability.
• Very strong communication and collaboration skills.
