Project Director
Lead major decarbonisation and energy infrastructure programmes. Shape client relationships. Deliver lasting impact.
We're looking for an experienced Project Director to take strategic and operational ownership of a key client programme or portfolio of projects. This is a senior leadership role responsible for driving performance across cost, quality, programme, safety and client satisfaction while leading multi-disciplinary teams from design through to construction, commissioning and handover.
This role will support the delivery of a major programme within a hospital trust in London, a live acute healthcare environment where maintaining operational continuity is critical. We are seeking a Project Director with a strong construction delivery background who can confidently lead complex projects through challenging site constraints, stakeholder demands and operational interfaces. Significant experience in construction management, programme coordination and the successful delivery of large-scale engineering or infrastructure projects is essential, alongside a strong understanding of CDM Regulations, Building Regulations compliance, and site safety management systems (including RAMS and SMS). A valid CSCS card and SMSTS qualification (or equivalent) are required.
