Job description

London Polished Concrete (LPC) is a market leader in the supply and installation of solid polished concrete and microcement floor systems.

A hands-on, delivery-focused role. You’ll manage the programme, quality, logistics and financial controls across a mix of projects — interfacing with LPC’s in-house team, subcontractors, main contractors and client teams to ensure work is delivered on time, to spec and within budget.

• Review scope, drawings and programme requirements for each project
• Create and maintain 2–3 week lookahead programmes
• Coordinate works across trades (screeders, polishers, finishers)
• Flag risks to drying times, sequencing or handovers early
• Track site activities daily; adapt the schedule where needed
• Ensure quality controls and finishing specifications are met

• Track budgets, labour days, material quantities and variations
• Approve timesheets and subcontractor payments aligned with scope
• Record all costs and submit reports for reconciliation via Xero
• Prepare EOD / weekly financial reports (budget vs actuals)

• Prepare and issue RAMS for each project
• Lead toolbox talks and inductions; ensure PPE and COSHH compliance
• Monitor clean, safe working conditions on all live sites
• Report incidents or near misses promptly

• Act as site lead when required
• Direct site teams and ensure correct application sequencing and timings
• Approve substrates and inspect each phase of installation
• Resolve site issues quickly, with minimal programme impact

• Confirm required products (mesh, primers, finish coats)
• Manage deliveries, on-site storage and hire equipment (sanders, extractors, etc.)
• Avoid over-ordering; optimise stock across sites

• Inspect and approve each stage of finish
• Manage the live snagging log; agree and resolve issues on the go
• Conduct pre-handover checks and deliver final sign-off
• Provide client care and maintenance guides

• Be the main point of contact for site managers, QS teams and LPC clients
• Send daily / weekly progress updates with photos
• Agree variations in writing and communicate clearly at every stage
• Represent LPC with professionalism and clarity

• Minimum 3–5 years managing construction packages (ideally finishes or flooring)
• Familiar with microcement / polished concrete systems (highly desirable)
• Strong understanding of site logistics, programming and sequencing
• Confident reading drawings and scopes
• Experience working alongside main contractors (Tier 1 / 2) on live projects
• Able to use SmartSuite / MS Teams or similar for task & document tracking
• Clear, calm, proactive communicator under pressure
• Strong attention to detail and a hands-on delivery mentality

• Rate agreed up front
• Immediate start with a live project portfolio
• Work on London’s most exciting design-led projects
• Flexible, open team culture
• Pathway to a permanent role if desired
