ABOUT RML
RML Roofing Contractor (RMLFS) is a specialist industrial and commercial roofing contractor and part of the MGT Group, alongside Scaffold Management Ltd and 4 Construction Management Ltd (4CM). We deliver roofing refurbishment projects nationwide — flat roofs, metal overcladding, strip-and-re-sheet, gutters, cladding, and associated structural and safety works — for blue-chip clients across manufacturing, logistics, retail and public sector estates. Our projects division is growing. We are hiring an experienced Project Manager to lead roofing refurbishment projects valued at £25,000 and above, from pre-start through to handover.
THE ROLE
Reporting directly to the Managing Director, the Project Manager takes full ownership of a portfolio of live roofing projects — typically five to ten at any one time — and is accountable for delivering each one safely, on programme and on margin. You will run jobs end-to-end: attending the pre-start with the sales estimator, producing the programme and H&S documentation, managing the supply chain and site teams, controlling costs against the worst-case scenario budget, liaising with the client, and closing each project out with a full handover pack including O&M documentation.
