Design Project Manager
TonyG is a creative production house completing design projects for brands and homes. We have a growing team of crafters - from creatives to printers to cabinet makers - and we manage all aspects of high-end projects such as window display, store-interiors, and bespoke furniture from our multi-purpose building in Kineton, South Warwickshire.
As our projects continue to grow in scale and number, we have an opportunity in our Project Management team and are currently interested in applications for:
Project Manager (experienced) £35-40k based upon experience.
This position involves the management of all aspects of design and production briefs on behalf of our premium customers, in retail, exhibition and other luxury environments. From the receipt of creative brief through all production and liaison stages through to final execution. This includes monitoring changes, coordinating print and production services and other in-house services such as bespoke framing and joinery.
You'll bring production briefs to our in-house team and to relevant external suppliers , estimating costs and timelines, overseeing the production of goods, managing and reporting budgets to clients, before ensuring final quality and delivery meets, or even exceeds expectations.
Our Project Management roles are quite unique because of the diversity of our product range, so inevitably there will be training involved for any successful applicant.
To be considered for this position we will be looking for evidence of relevant skills applied in a related environment.
That experience may come from graphic design, digital print, theatre, exhibition-build, or events, but we are especially keen to hear from you if you can evidence experience of project management for signage, graphics, large format printing, design and build, and bespoke multiple-product projects in retail settings.
Those with a history of estimation and other transferrable project management skills will also be looked at favourably.
As we expect this to be a position with a high level of applicants, please ensure you say enough to help us pick you out of the crowd. We especially like a covering letter!

A little about us:
TonyG is a nurturing company with a lively (and lovely) working atmosphere. Despite taking our work very seriously we laugh a lot, play music throughout the building, and there's always at least one office dog to pat.
Working ethically and sustainably is not simply a fashionable thing we say. We involve ourselves with education, offer work experience and mentoring to students, are launching projects that reduce commercial waste, and genuinely think business has the potential to change things for the better.
If we sound like a company you want to be involved with and you have the credentials we need, send us your details asap.
(Driving licence and your own transport is essential, as it attention to our location. Very long commutes are discouraged, and this is a minimum of 90% in-office position).
