We are Lifestory, a vibrant, ambitious business who are proud to design, build, and create high-quality independent later living homes for the over 60's.

Our developments are beautifully designed offering stunning community living and set in highly desirable locations across the UK. Our exciting plans have enabled us to create a brand new opportunity for an experienced Special Projects Manager to join us on a 12 month fixed term contract.

(Please note that only candidates who meet the essential criteria in terms of extensive construction related experience AND a full UK drivers licence will be considered).

About the role

As Special Projects Manager you will be part of our development team overseeing and coordinating a number of projects of maximum value £500k to achieve company aims, satisfying multiple internal stakeholders and our customers via excellent communication, quality and delivery standards. You will be required to be the lead manager, liaising directly with all contractors, external consultants, suppliers and colleagues to see all projects through to completion and handover within set timescales and budgets ensuring at all times minimum disruption to our customers.

You'll work closely with many stakeholders including the Operations, Sales & Marketing teams as well as direct face to face liaison with customers.

Key duties will include

Assist with obtaining specialist reports, surveys and recommendations

You will have a track record in managing contractors, suppliers and consultants and you'll have experience of project and budget management.
