Project Manager NEW

City, London
Bennett and Game Recruitment LTD

A specialist facade restoration and external building repair contractor, celebrating 40 years in business in 2026, is seeking an experienced Project Manager to support a growing pipeline of work across London and the South. The business has recently transitioned to an Employee Owned Trust, meaning every member of staff has a genuine financial stake in its success.

With a team of over 50 staff, turnover growth of more than 70% over the last five years, and contract values ranging from 500 to 4 million, this is a business in confident growth. The scope of work is genuinely broad, spanning stone restoration, concrete repairs and protection, brickwork, specialist render systems, structural waterproofing, DOFF and TORC cleaning, abseiling, grit blasting, coatings and graffiti removal, bronze cleaning, bird protection and painting and decorating. All services are delivered by the in-house team.

The company has a long-standing relationship with The Royal Parks and has worked alongside English Heritage on the restoration of historic monuments and Grade I and II listed buildings. Their FullScope service offering, which delivers complete external restoration under one team from inception to sign-off, is a genuine differentiator in the market and reflects the breadth of their in-house capability.

The Project Manager will take ownership of projects across this varied portfolio, coordinating teams, clients and supply chain to deliver works safely, on programme and to the high standards the business is known for.
