MOBILISATION MANAGER
Rendall & Rittner
£Competitive, aligned to experience
Hybrid
Role Overview
We need a Mobilisation Manager who can take ownership of new contract mobilisations and lead them to completion, from newly awarded instructions through to a stable, operational handover.
You’ll work closely with clients, project consultants, property teams and internal stakeholders, leading each mobilisation and ensuring a seamless transition to steady state. The initial focus is new build residential properties moving from construction to operation, with scope to extend into onboarding occupied properties transferring from another managing agent.
ROLE EXPECTATIONS
This is a project led role that requires strong technical knowledge, sound judgement and the confidence to lead across multiple workstreams simultaneously.
You’ll need an excellent working knowledge of MEP services and modern construction methods, the ability to read and interpret construction documents and drawings, and a solid understanding of both the construction and property management environments.
You will be expected to lead teams, manage risk, build client relationships and deliver results under pressure — not just manage process.
What Success Looks Like
You’ll be successful in this role if:
- Mobilisations are delivered on time, within budget and to a high standard
- Clients trust you and see you as a capable, credible point of contact throughout the project
- Teams are clearly directed and supported to deliver their responsibilities
- Risks, issues and last-minute changes are anticipated and managed effectively
- Projects are handed over to property teams at steady state with full documentation and confidence
How You’ll Spend Most Of Your Time
Most weeks, you’ll be:
- Leading the end to end mobilisation of newly awarded residential and mixed-use instructions
- Creating and implementing project plans, stages, work packages, timescales and measurable outcomes
- Liaising with clients, consultants, contractors and internal stakeholders at all levels
- Interpreting construction drawings, specifications, O&M manuals, CDM and conveyancing documents
- Managing and coaching project team members to ensure their responsibilities are delivered
- Reporting to clients and the executive team, including gap reviews and written progress reports
- Contributing to new business activity, including tender submissions and pitches
- Conducting quality assurance audits on mobilisations led by other teams
- Maintaining health and safety standards across construction and operational environments
