Lighting Project Manager

Description

Day-to-day, you’ll be project managing the delivery of the lighting package on our projects, always putting our clients at the heart of what you do. Strong, clear communication – internally and externally – is a given. Getting the right equipment to the right place at the right time is non-negotiable… but you’ll go further, constantly challenging the status quo and pushing to deliver even better for our clients.

Site visits will be expected (because how else can you truly understand what we deliver?), and as you visit our projects you’ll work with both the wider Ideaworks team, and our external partners, to proactively identify potential issues, and ensure that everyone has what they need, when they need it.

Overall, you’ll be the project’s key point of contact for all things lighting throughout the construction phase, working closely with our technical design team and managing design deliverables to ensure every project has what it needs to succeed. You’ll want to understand the design, not just ship boxes. Our clients experience simple and reliable systems, and you are eager to understand exactly how we create that simplicity.

As a Lighting Project Manager, you’ll work closely with leading Lighting Designers, delivering their creative intent while navigating the inevitable challenges of bringing a project to life. At Ideaworks, we believe that great lighting design is only half the puzzle; the other half is world-class delivery. You already know this. It’s why you thrive in the detail, the pressure, and the pursuit of getting things absolutely right.

• Managing all contract deliverables – both product and labour – to ensure we deliver, always on time and always on budget.
• Setting deadlines and holding yourself and others accountable.
• Managing change, ensuring clients understand the cost and programme impact of their decisions.
• Treat fellow colleagues like friends.
• Working closely with project teams, both internally and externally, to keep everyone aligned and up to date.
• Acting as a reliable project point of contact for all lighting-related matters.
• Understanding client requirements and converting them into clear actions and deliverables.
• Fielding questions – then finding (and understanding) the answer.

Requirements

You’ll have a genuine passion for lighting (or a strong desire to develop one), a meticulous eye, a good grasp of numbers, and a deep curiosity for how things work. You love solving problems others shy away from, you’re not afraid of a hard conversation, and you care deeply about quality. We have high standards, but so do you.

(aka: an exceptional communicator, a challenge-lover, a natural problem-solver… and a lighting-obsessed, detail-driven geek at heart.)

Benefits

Benefits: 22 days annual holiday, (plus UK Bank Holidays), Cycle to Work Scheme, your birthday off, Specsavers Corporate Eyecare Scheme, Pension Scheme, Summer and Christmas party.
