Overview

Project Manager - Experience Design & Heritage Projects

Are you a designer ready to take the next step towards a career in project management?

Are you a experienced designer who is looking to transition into a Project Manager role—with support and development.

We're particularly interested in individuals with a background in heritage, exhibitions, museums, retail, or other niche creative sectors, especially those who have worked on unusual, highly creative, or standout projects.

This is a rare opportunity to join a world-class team delivering high-profile projects across the UK, Ireland, and internationally, while being mentored into a fully-fledged Project Manager.

Responsibilities

As a Designer / Project Engineer, you\'ll still contribute creatively while beginning your journey into project management. You\'ll support the delivery of projects and gain hands-on experience across bidding, design coordination, and project execution. Working closely with senior Project Managers and Technical Directors, you\'ll gradually take on more responsibility, ultimately progressing to managing projects from concept through to completion. Projects include museums, cultural destinations, heritage sites, and immersive visitor attractions.

Qualifications

Around 4+ years\' experience in a design-based role.
Background in heritage, museum, exhibition, leisure, retail, or visitor-attraction projects—or other niche/creative sectors.
Experience working on unusual, complex, or highly creative projects is highly desirable.
