Field Project Operations Manager - Exterior Building Works - #2184428

Make London’s Skyline Safer, Smarter and More Striking

At Spectrum Specialist Support, we do not simply maintain buildings. We help protect London’s skyline.

From cutting-edge skyscrapers and historic landmarks to Georgian townhouses and Brutalist icons, we keep some of the capital’s most recognisable buildings safe, compliant and looking their best.

For more than 20 years, we have been at the forefront of façade restoration and specialist cleaning. Combining patented 3D technology with expert rope-access capabilities, we deliver complex projects that few other companies can take on.

We are now looking for an exceptional Field Project Operations Manager to take ownership of project delivery across London and beyond.

This is not a typical Site Manager role.

Leading small, specialist teams of two to four people, you will bring together project management, people leadership, client relationships and project administration to ensure every job runs smoothly, every team performs at its best and every client receives an outstanding service.

Ready to put your skills to work in a role with real variety, responsibility and impact?

A full UK driving licence is essential.

The Role at a Glance

Project Operations Manager

Location: Sites across London

Salary: £45,000 - £50,000

Benefits: Company vehicle, 25 days’ holiday plus bank holidays, training and development opportunities

Hours of work: Daily 6.30am start in Catford required

Company values: Integrity, Attention to Detail, Fun, Innovation and Adaptability

Relevant backgrounds may include: Office Management, Operations Management, Facilities Management, Commercial Property, Building Maintenance and Property or Site Administration.

Not Your Typical Site Manager Role

Forget the traditional image of a Site Manager responsible for one function within a large construction team.

This role is very different.

You will lead small, focused teams of three or four people and take personal ownership of the responsibilities that would usually be divided across a much larger operation.

This includes client liaison, administration, reporting, IT systems, planning and people management.

That is why we are not simply looking for someone with a traditional construction background.

We need an individual who is highly capable in an office environment, confident using systems, managing paperwork and following processes, while also being comfortable standing in front of a team, giving clear direction and holding people accountable when required.

This position may suit an experienced Office or Operations Manager who is ready to take their leadership skills into a field-based environment just as much as it would suit a conventional Site Manager.

The Opportunity

As our Field Project Operations Manager, you will be at the heart of Spectrum’s external building maintenance projects.

Your Responsibilities

• Project Delivery: Plan and coordinate projects, ensuring deadlines, budgets and compliance standards are met.
• Administration & Reporting: Manage systems, records and reporting to keep projects running smoothly.

• Health & Safety: Maintain high standards through training, monitoring and proactive management.
• Problem-Solving & Conflict: Address challenges promptly, manage disagreements impartially and escalate when necessary.
• Performance: Monitor and report on progress, productivity, costs and client satisfaction.

About You

We're looking for a highly organised individual with strong administrative skills and the confidence to lead people effectively.

You'll Bring:

• Strong Microsoft Office skills, particularly Excel and Word.
• Excellent administration, reporting and project planning abilities.
• Experience managing teams, setting expectations and holding people accountable.
• Confidence resolving conflict fairly and addressing performance issues.
• Experience managing multiple sites, ideally within construction, facilities or property, although not essential.
• Strong communication skills across site teams, clients and senior stakeholders.
• Commercial awareness and numerical confidence; experience valuing works is advantageous.
• A proactive, adaptable approach with the ability to solve problems and improve processes.
• The ability to work independently and perform under pressure.
• A full UK driving licence.
