Attending briefing meetings with the Outreach team to understand project scope, budget and programme. Working closely with the design team through the design development stage, coordinating manufacturing drawings and ensuring technical requirements are properly understood. Supporting the outreach team with client liaison, including sign-off on materials and samples. Visiting sites to confirm access and requirements and attending client and contractor meetings. Recording and agreeing any variations with the client. Managing Day 2 requirements and any remedial work.

What we’re looking for

Experience in estimating, quoting or project management within the bespoke or contract furniture industry, or a related manufacturing environment. Confidence preparing quotations and proposal documents and liaising with all parties involved in bringing a project together. A working knowledge of manufacturing drawings and a strong eye for detail and good design, alongside a solid commercial outlook. Excellent organisational skills and the flexibility to manage several projects at once. A clear, confident communicator, comfortable working with clients, designers and all project stakeholders alike.

What we offer

A collaborative, employee-owned business with real craftsmanship at its core. The opportunity to see projects through from quotation to completion, with genuine ownership along the way. Competitive salary, pension, EOT bonus scheme and 23 days holiday plus Bank holidays.

The role is based at our Wandsworth workshop and offices. Applicants must have the right to work in the UK. Opus Magnum is an equal opportunities employer.
