Project Director – Major Healthcare Programme
West Yorkshire | c£130-150k + Package
A major leadership opportunity.
We are working with a leading UK construction business to appoint an experienced Project Director to take a senior leadership role on a significant, complex development in West Yorkshire.
This is a high-profile appointment requiring an accomplished construction leader with a proven track record of delivering major healthcare and/or large-scale public sector projects.
The successful individual will take overall responsibility for project leadership and delivery, working with senior clients, stakeholders, consultants, and supply-chain partners within a complex, highly regulated environment.
The Opportunity
As Project Director, you will provide strategic leadership across all aspects of the programme, taking responsibility for delivery, commercial performance, stakeholder relationships, risk, and team leadership.
This is not simply about managing a large construction project. The complexity of the stakeholder environment means we are looking for someone who understands the demands of delivering major public sector programmes, ideally within healthcare.
You'll need the presence to operate confidently at senior client level while remaining sufficiently close to the project to drive successful delivery.

Key Responsibilities

- Lead large, multidisciplinary project and delivery teams

- Drive collaboration across consultants, contractors, and supply-chain partners
- Champion safety, quality, innovation, and continuous improvement
- Represent the business at senior client and stakeholder level
What We're Looking For
Major healthcare and/or significant public sector project experience is essential. We are particularly interested in speaking with senior construction professionals who can demonstrate:
- A strong track record of delivering large-scale, complex construction programmes
- Significant experience within healthcare, government, education, defence, or other major public sector environments
- Experience operating as a Project Director, Construction Director, or equivalent senior project leader
- Leadership of large, multidisciplinary teams and complex supply chains
- Strong commercial and contractual understanding
- Experience navigating demanding governance and stakeholder structures
- The credibility and executive presence to engage with senior clients and public sector stakeholders
- A strategic mindset combined with a hands-on understanding of project delivery
- Experience of delivering major acute healthcare or hospital developments would be particularly valuable.
