Description

PROJECT MANAGER – OVERVIEW
A newly created opportunity has become available for an experienced Project Manager to join our Development Team. The position is based at our Head Quarters in Central London.

Reporting in to Head of Development, we are looking for an experienced Project Manager to manage key in house projects, which will include redevelopment of existing buildings, new build and mixed use schemes. The project manager should have an appropriate background which will include construction management from feasibility to completion, budgeting and analysis, managing a multi-disciplinary design team and cost management skills would be an advantage. RICS qualifications (or equivalent) would be preferred but not essential.


WHO ARE WE
Generator is on a journey. Appropriate, given that we're a leading global lifestyle accommodation brand. The journey began in London, swung through a heap of European capitals on its way to dominating the world. Generator burst onto the scene in the Americas with the launch of Generator Miami and Washington DC and most recently took aim at the country’s biggest markets (NYC, LA, Miami and Chicago) with the acquisition of Freehand Hotels.

No biggie. Fast Company named us one of the top 50 most innovative global companies. We, of course, agree. And now this top 50 most innovative global company (did we mention that?) wants a pretty awesome Project Manager for our Generator Head Office,

Our spaces are safe and seriously social, in the proudest part of the beating heart of the cities we love. Cultural action, creative pulse and an outstanding way to waste some of the finite time the universe has given you - that's what Generator offers. Holds true for staff and visitors equally, and while chic design is always the backdrop, every Generator in every destination reflects the unique beat of that city's heart.

BEING YOURSELF is the key to bringing the Generator story and brand to life.
