Construction Project Manager - Retail - North

Position Overview

An opportunity awaits for an experienced professional passionate about crafting retail environments that enhance customer experiences, stimulate sales growth, and drive operational performance. Join a leading multi-site retail operator in the UK, focused on modernising and expanding its national estate through a bold investment programme.

Your Responsibilities

This role transcends traditional project management. You will serve as a pivotal link between development and retail operations, ensuring that all projects are crafted with customer experience and commercial performance at the forefront. Your responsibilities will include:

• Overseeing multiple projects from detailed design through to practical completion.
• Managing retail store refurbishments and modernisation programmes.
• Coordinating store extensions and redevelopment schemes.
• Executing knockdown and rebuild projects.
• Facilitating food-to-go and concession partner rollouts.
• Implementing customer journey improvements and operational enhancements.

Ideal Candidate Profile

We are eager to connect with individuals who have a background in:

• Retail
• Convenience retail
• Supermarkets
• Hospitality and leisure
• Foodservice and QSR environments
• Multi-site property portfolios
• Forecourts and roadside retail

The successful candidate will possess:

• Proven expertise in managing retail fit-out, refurbishment, or development projects.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, effectively engaging operational, commercial, and construction teams.
• A commercial mindset with demonstrated success in driving value and managing budgets.
• Insight into how physical environments impact customer experience and operational efficiency.
• The capability to manage various projects across a diverse national portfolio.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This role offers a chance to shape and enhance a large-scale UK retail estate actively. You will:

• Deliver projects with visible impact on both customers and commercial performance.
• Be part of a significant investment in estate development and growth.
• Enjoy a dynamic work environment with autonomy, variety, and a genuine influence over project results.
• Access long-term career progression opportunities within a growing organisation.
• Work remotely with the flexibility to travel for projects as needed.
• Receive a highly competitive package, including a car and bonus structure.

This is an ideal chance for a Project Manager from a retail, hospitality, supermarket, convenience, or multi-site development background to take ownership of high-profile transformation projects across a nationally recognised estate.
