Construction Director
North West
£100,000 - £130,000 + Allowance + Package
Our client is an established North West residential business with a strong pipeline of current and future developments. As the business enters its next stage of growth, it is investing in its leadership, people, and operational capability to create a construction function capable of supporting its long-term ambitions.
We're looking for a Construction Director who's been through the journey before. Someone who knows how to strengthen a construction function, build the right team, raise standards, and put the structure and discipline in place to support growth. This isn't about inheriting a finished product. There will be challenges to work through, and it will require resilience, energy, and determination, but you'll have the backing, autonomy, and influence to shape the function and build something meaningful for the long term.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead the construction function across multiple residential schemes, ensuring safe, high-quality, and timely delivery
- Oversee the full build lifecycle, embedding strong programme discipline and buildability from pre-construction through to completion
- Work closely with senior leadership to shape construction strategy, sequencing, logistics, and delivery models
- Build, mentor, and develop a high-performing construction team with clear standards, accountability, and strong site leadership
- Collaborate with Commercial, Technical, and Pre-Construction teams to ensure alignment on programme, cost, quality, and risk
- Maintain rigorous health and safety standards across all sites, ensuring a culture of safe working practices
- Support early-stage planning and design reviews to ensure efficiency, buildability, and commercial viability
- Drive continuous improvement, implementing systems, processes, and ways of working that support growth and operational excellence
- Represent construction at senior leadership level, contributing to business planning, forecasting, and long-term strategy
- Ensure customer satisfaction benchmarks are met, with a focus on quality, handover standards, and aftercare performance

What We're Looking For:

- Strong track record of leading multi-site residential construction programmes
- Evidence of having strengthened, rebuilt, or scaled a construction function, rather than simply operated within an established structure
- A hands-on, energetic leader who thrives in a fast-moving, delivery-focused environment
- Experience shaping or improving construction systems, processes, and delivery models
- The resilience and determination to work through challenges while keeping sight of the longer-term vision
- Ability to build and inspire teams, set standards, and drive accountability
- Strong commercial awareness and an understanding of how construction decisions impact programme, cost, and quality
- A collaborative approach, working closely across Technical, Commercial, and Pre-Construction functions
- Someone who enjoys the build, not just the finished product — comfortable with challenge and motivated by creating something meaningful
