About the Company

A renowned London-based commercial fit-out specialist, this organisation brings architectural design, project management, and craftsmanship together to deliver innovative, high-quality workspaces.

About the Role

• Identify and manage risks (e.g., Party Wall issues, rights of light, stakeholder constraints), and deliver proactive mitigation strategies.

• Maintain transparent, structured communication with all parties, presenting regular performance reports.

The role is well-suited to someone who thrives in a collaborative, design-led culture—someone inquisitive, solution-oriented, and committed to delivering elevated user-centric environments.
