Experience within the catering equipment, commercial kitchen or hospitality fit-out/refurbishment industry is essential for this role!

TAG Catering Equipment is a leading provider of commercial kitchen and bar fit-outs for the UK’s premium hospitality sector. We work with some of the most respected hotels and restaurants in the country, delivering full turnkey projects that combine innovative design, energy-efficient technologies, and high-quality construction.

Due to expansion and continued growth, we're now looking for a Senior Project Manager to join and expand our existing team of project managers. If you have experience in managing multiple catering equipment installation projects or hospitality refurbishments & fit-outs, then you could be the right fit for this role!

For the right candidate, this role has a clear career growth path to a Head of Project Delivery role.

As a company, we provide full turnkey solutions for our clients, so you’ll need to be confident in managing a complex programme of works including the main kitchen or bar installation, M&E, walls, floors, ceilings and building works, as well as the contractors involved in delivering these.

Projects can range in value from £10k to £1.5m, therefore you could be delivering multiple projects at once or working on a single large-scale project for an extended period of time.

You will be confident in preparing the initial works programme, issuing and raising RAMS, handling variations, preparing snagging lists, overseeing Operations & Maintenance manuals, and signing off final accounts.

You will be communicating with various hospitality stakeholders, from Facilities Managers and Administration to Engineering departments and Executive Chefs.

You will be supported by an award-winning design, sales, and marketing team, so you can focus on your role.

Regardless of experience level, you’ll benefit from a hybrid working environment and other incentives.

This is your chance to be part of a growing company with a reputation for delivering some of the UK’s most desirable and efficient commercial kitchens, for some of the UK’s most famous venues and hospitality groups.
