Thomas Search are working on behalf of a values driven market shaping consultancy on a mission to accelerate the transition to low – carbon, affordable-to-heat homes. As part of their next phase of growth, we are looking to appoint a Project Manager, with strong Retrofit experience.
 
This is a rare opportunity to join a fast-scaling social enterprise at the forefront of sustainable retrofit, for an up-and-coming or mid-level construction or retrofit professional to take the next step into a project leadership role with real meaning and purpose.

You’ll join a supportive PMO environment and work alongside Retrofit Assessors, Coordinators, and Advisors to deliver projects to PAS 2035 standards. Continuous learning, professional development, and mentorship are central to the role—so whether you're newly qualified or ready to step up, you'll be supported every step of the way.
 
Day to day:

• Manage retrofit projects across procurement, installation, and sign-off stages
• Liaise with subcontractors, suppliers, and site teams to ensure smooth coordination
