Are you a hands-on trade pro who's ready to step slightly "off the tools" - without losing the practical side of the job?

We're a busy kitchen showroom looking for a practical, organised Project Manager / Installations Coordinator to bridge the gap between the showroom and the on-site contractors (plumbers, electricians, fitters, etc.).

If you've ever been a kitchen fitter (ideal), carpenter/joiner, site supervisor, or you've run jobs on site and know how installations really work, you'll feel right at home.

The role

You'll take day-to-day job logistics off the owners' plates - keeping installs moving, solving problems quickly, and making sure customers and contractors have what they need.

This is a hybrid role: part coordination/admin, part practical on-site support (light fitting/snagging and problem solving).

What you'll be doing

• Managing multiple kitchen installation projects from sign-off to completion
• Coordinating trades and schedules (fitters, plumbers, electricians, decorators, delivery teams)
• Being the "go-to" person for day-to-day site questions and problem solving
• Visiting sites to check progress, resolve snags, and keep standards high
• Doing light fitting/remedial tasks where appropriate (e.g., minor adjustments, basic fixes, snagging)
• Ordering/reordering parts and materials, arranging deliveries, and delivering replacement parts when needed
• Keeping customers updated and handling issues calmly and professionally
• Maintaining job notes, timelines, and basic admin (email, spreadsheets, job sheets)

Who this suits

This is perfect for someone who:

• Has worked in kitchen fitting / installations / joinery / construction
• Can confidently talk to trades and understands sequencing (first fix/second fix, tiling, electrics, plumbing, finishing)
• Is organised enough to run schedules, chase updates, and keep jobs on track
• Still enjoys being practical - and can handle minor fixes without fuss

What we're looking for (must-have)

• Trades/site background (kitchen fitting experience is a big advantage)
• Comfortable using hand/power tools and doing minor remedial work when needed
• Strong coordination skills: scheduling, prioritising, chasing actions, attention to detail
• Confident communicator with customers and contractors
• Full UK driving licence (and happy to be on the road between showroom/sites)
• Basic IT/admin ability (email, spreadsheets, job tracking)

Nice-to-have

• Experience managing multiple installs at once
• Knowledge of kitchen brands/components, worktops, appliances, and common fitting issues
• Experience snagging and quality checking
• Previous role as site supervisor, installation manager, or project coordinator

What you'll get

• A key role in a growing kitchen business - real ownership and influence
• Variety: showroom, site visits, problem solving, coordination
• A team that values practical experience and common sense
• Salary: £40000 (DOE) + £ allowance/bonus if applicable]
• Hours: [e.g., Mon-Fri, 8:00-17:00]
• Location: [Showroom town/area] + local site travel
