Job Description

Posted 3 years ago

Studio Contra is an ARCON registered and RIBA chartered architectural, urban and interior design practice. We are committed to the delivery of innovative and thoughtful contemporary architecture for clients with an equal enthusiasm for design.

We respect the need for buildings to respond to their context, to stand the test of time, to be environmentally sustainable and to continually surprise, delight and engage us. We believe that for a project to have impact three things are required, concept, culture and craft: a strong conceptual underpinning, a sense of being rooted in culture and environment, and skillful craftsmanship in execution.

Our process is inquisitive and concept-driven; we look for solutions that directly confront the challenges of each brief and seek to unlock hidden value for clients through all stages of the project.

Job Description:

We are looking for a talented Project Manager who will be responsible for projects during the latter stages: obtaining planning approval, evaluating bills of quantities, project planning and monitoring, site inspections and procurement.

You will work closely with the design team and Managing Director and engage with clients, consultants, contractors, subcontractors and vendors as the project progresses.

A minimum of 3 years experience in a project management or construction management role is required. Candidates should be highly motivated and enthusiastic, detail-oriented with excellent communication and organisational skills.

Skills:

• Ability to read and interpret architectural and construction drawings
• Ability to manage money and work with financial information
• Microsoft Excel is essential. Microsoft Project is a plus.
• Other Key Qualities:
  – Good time management skills and multitasking
  – Detail-oriented mind
  – Ability to manage a team to a demanding programme
  – Experience in dealing with contractors and other suppliers in a professional manner
  – Personal integrity and honesty

Salary Range:
