Careers
Project Manager
Full-time Contract
Veevers Carter (part of the EC Group) has an opportunity for a Senior Project Manager to join our team.
This role is essential in ensuring that all of our floral projects are executed seamlessly - on time, on budget, and with exceptional coordination. Our Project Managers focus on the operational side of projects, allowing our talented designers to concentrate on creating stunning floral experiences and leading client relationships.
Veevers Carter is a leading creative artistic florist specialising in unique event experiences. Working alongside EC, we have a unique offering across design, scenic construction, technical production, and live show management. Our amazing team are at the heart of the business and the reason we consistently deliver excellence to our clients and continually innovate.
Who are you?
You’ve been a project manager, production manager or producer in a previous life. If that was within the live events industry – great, but it’s not a requirement.
You are experienced and skilled in project management process and are comfortable managing timelines, budgets and multiple stakeholders across multiple projects.
You are an attention-to-detail-focused master plate spinner with a passion for lists and a stickler for process.
Systems and software come naturally to you, and you quickly pick up workflows.
You are a natural problem solver and are happy to jump in and collaborate to solve issues so our clients have a wonderful experience and our internal teams work in harmony.
You are a natural connector of people; they trust you to be calm and knowledgeable and know that you will do what you say you are going to do.
You enjoy a fast-paced, creative environment. However importantly, this is not a design role. While we encourage everyone to think creatively (Creative Ingenuity is one of our core values), this role is in the detail and buddy's with our designers to turn vision into (well ordered) reality.
Day-to-day responsibilities:
Project Planning & Coordination
Supporting designers on projects to ensure that requirements are captured
Creating project plans and sharing them with clients and internal stakeholders (transport, crewing, floral buyers, florists). Keeping all stakeholders informed and flagging any timing or accuracy concerns

Ensure documentation is filed in the right places and labelled accurately
Coordinating with designers to ensure that RAMS are created, accurately stored and sent to the right people
Communication & Information Flow
You will be copied on all project-related communications to capture critical information and ensure it is shared with the appropriate teams
Act as the central point of contact between floral designers and internal departments (floral studio, logistics, operations, and procurement) to guarantee smooth project execution
Ensure that everyone has the information they need, drawing from our designers and disseminating it to wherever it needs to be so no one is left wondering
Liaising with venues, sending staffing lists, ensuring they are kept informed of schedules and timings
Internal collaboration:
Working closely with internal teams to confirm all elements of the project are where they need to be, when they need to be
Facilitate handoffs between design and operations teams, ensuring everyone is aligned and has the knowledge they need
Liaising with our finance team to ensure they have all they need to be able to invoice projects and that new clients are set up accurately
Management of inbound enquiry, RFP & Tender Support
Project management of inbound enquiries, working with the MD to ensure that leads are logged and allocated and the appropriate set up is carried out on internal systems
Project managing responses to RFPs and Tenders, pulling together the relevant information and ensuring they are responded to in a timely manner
Process & Efficiency:
Implement and optimize project management processes to increase team efficiency
Bringing others on the journey and helping them to understand the benefits of project management process
Identify areas for operational improvement and propose solutions
Purchase ordering, management of project-related expenses and general data entry specific to your projects
Why us?
We create experiences that matter for the people who matter to our clients, but nothing we do is possible without our people.
When we ask our people ‘What is it you love about working at here?’ the top answer is always the same: “The people!”
