Our client is looking for a Senior Project who has experience of Life Science projects.


The team is a dynamic and supportive group of professionals. They operate across their West End and City office locations. Within this team, a specialised sub-team has been focusing on landlord and tenant Science instructions for the past 5 years, and they are now looking to expand this group.


The broader team focuses on the primary London office sector, serving a diverse range of investor, developer, and occupier clients.

Over the past 4 years, the team has worked on over 250,000 sq ft of office-to-lab conversions within Greater London, with plans to further expand these efforts.

The successful candidate will be actively involved in all stages of the project lifecycle and will play a key role in delivering projects.

  • Utilise your background in Building Surveying or Project Management to provide initial technical recommendations and strategic advice before appointing a wider professional team.
  • Support and advise clients in the strategic planning of projects, including team selection, procurement routes, design management, and risk mitigation.
  • Create and manage project programs.
  • Deliver necessary project documentation, including meeting minutes, project reports, financial reports, and other associated documents.
  • Administer contracts (JCT suite of contracts); experience with NEC contracts is advantageous.
  • Collaborate with the professional team throughout all stages of the project, from briefing and design to tender, construction, and handover.
  • Oversee project completion and close-out activities.


Skills, Knowledge, and Experience Competencies
