Role Overview

We are recruiting a Project Manager to oversee the delivery of small works and smaller-scale projects within the fire industry. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys managing multiple live jobs, coordinating engineers and subcontractors, and seeing work through from survey to completion.

The projects will not be large-scale, high-value programmes, but rather a steady flow of smaller, fast-moving works that require strong organisation, customer communication, and commercial awareness.

As a Project Manager, you will be hands-on, site-aware, and comfortable managing several jobs at once while ensuring compliance, quality, and profitability.

Key Responsibilities

Manage the delivery of small works and project jobs from initial survey through to completion

Attend site to assess scope, design requirements, and installation needs

Compile technical quotations in line with industry standards and internal pricing tools

Liaise with customers to manage expectations and improve quote-to-order conversion

Coordinate engineers and subcontractors to ensure works are completed on time

Schedule works and resources efficiently across multiple live jobs

Maintain accurate records using the company ERP system

Monitor progress and provide regular updates to internal stakeholders

Identify risks and resolve issues that may impact delivery

Raise purchase orders for materials and subcontract services

Track delivery of parts to site or engineers

Invoice customers and follow up as required

Complete project handovers and resolve any post-completion issues

Ensure health and safety compliance at all times, including PPE and safe working practices

Support quality audits and health & safety toolbox talks

Experience & Skills Required

Proven Project Manager experience within fire systems, ideally small works or service-led projects

Strong organisational skills and ability to manage multiple jobs concurrently

Commercial awareness including quoting and margin control

Confident communicator with strong customer service skills
