Property Care Project Manager
Project Delivery Manager – ACT Property Care
This is a project-focused position within ACT Property Care, sitting at the heart of our delivery operation. You will take ownership of small works and defects programmes from initial instruction through to close-out – managing programmes, costs, trades, and client relationships with precision and professionalism.
This role requires someone who is equally comfortable managing programmes and budgets as they are rolling up their sleeves on a complex defect. You will work closely with Cyril and the wider Property Care team, site operatives, and directly with clients across a portfolio of high-end residential properties.
Key Responsibilities
Project & Programme Management
- Take full ownership of small works and defects programmes from instruction to close-out.
- Produce and maintain detailed programmes for all live Property Care projects.
- Manage multiple workstreams simultaneously, prioritising effectively and adapting to changing client needs.
- Coordinate trades, subcontractors, and internal resource to deliver works on time and within budget.
- Report on project status, risks, and progress to the Head of Property Care on a regular basis.
