Trainee Project Manager – Residential Refurbishment

Cubitt Wren is a growing residential refurbishment business working on homes across London. Our projects include kitchens, bathrooms, internal renovations and external restoration, with a focus on quality workmanship and good client service.

We’re looking for an organised, confident and motivated person to work closely with the business owner, learning how to bring in new projects and help manage them from the initial enquiry through to completion.

This is a practical role with training provided, a basic salary plus commission, and the opportunity to progress into management as your capability and the business grow.

The role

You’ll learn both the commercial and delivery sides of the business. Initially, you’ll receive guidance and support, taking on more responsibility as your confidence and knowledge develop.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Responding to enquiries, speaking with prospective clients and arranging consultations and site visits.


• Following up quotations, answering client questions and helping convert enquiries into confirmed projects.


• Assisting with site surveys, gathering project requirements and preparing estimates and proposals.


• Helping organise contractors, materials, deliveries and project schedules.


• Keeping clients informed and maintaining clear communication between the office and site teams.


• Attending sites to record progress, flag issues and help coordinate outstanding work.


• Updating project records, tracking costs and variations, and assisting with payment follow\-ups.


• Helping organise snagging and handovers so projects are completed properly.


• Taking increasing ownership of enquiries and projects as you develop.

You don’t need a construction degree or previous project management experience. We’re looking for someone with the right attitude, good judgement and a willingness to learn.

You should be:

• Reliable and punctual, with the initiative to keep others informed without being chased.


• Confident speaking with clients by phone, email and in person.


• Organised, comfortable following up and able to keep track of several tasks.


• Interested in property, refurbishment, sales and how a growing business operates.


• Comfortable using everyday computer software and learning our systems.


• Willing to ask questions, take feedback and follow tasks through to completion.


• Happy working between the office and project sites across London.

Training and progression

You’ll receive practical training in handling enquiries, preparing quotations, communicating with clients and coordinating refurbishment projects.

As you demonstrate that you can secure work, organise jobs and take responsibility, there will be scope to progress into a project management or wider management position. Progression will be based on performance and readiness for the role.

Working environment

We’re a small, growing business, and this is a hands\-on position where your contribution will be visible. Our current office is based in a basement workspace, so please be comfortable with that setting. The role involves office\-based work alongside client meetings and site visits.

Pay

Basic salary plus commission, with the commission structure and payment terms explained during the recruitment process and agreed before you start.

How to apply

Send your CV with a short message explaining why this role interests you and an example of when you took initiative, organised something successfully or helped win a customer.

Pay: £25,000\.00\-£35,000\.00 per year
