Head of Construction
Location: Hull
Salary: £60K - £80K + Benefits
An established, award-winning offsite construction business is looking to appoint a Head of Construction to lead the delivery of its UK projects. The company designs and manufactures high-quality modular buildings and anti-vandal solutions and delivers full turnkey schemes across sectors such as sports & leisure, education, healthcare, defence and commercial.
They operate a modern manufacturing facility and provide full design, consultation, planning, manufacture, delivery and installation services. Sustainability, quality and long-term client relationships sit at the core of how they work.
The Role – Head of Construction
You will be accountable for the safe, high-quality and efficient delivery of modular construction projects from final factory stages through to on-site installation and handover. You’ll provide strategic and day-to-day leadership for all construction activity, ensuring projects are delivered on time, to budget and to the standards expected.
This is a hands-on leadership role: you’ll be close to live sites, able to step in when projects need intervention, and confident managing multiple schemes at different stages.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead and manage the construction delivery function, ensuring safe, high-quality installation and handover of modular buildings.
- Oversee multiple live projects concurrently, maintaining clear oversight of programmes, budgets and resource needs.
- Own client and subcontractor relationships: agree terms, manage performance, resolve issues and protect project outcomes while maintaining strong working relationships.
- Work closely with design, production and project management teams to align final-stage factory activities with on-site delivery plans.
- Provide decisive leadership when projects go off track: identify root causes, implement corrective actions and drive recovery to programme.
- Develop, mentor and lead mixed-experience teams—getting the best from seasoned staff while supporting less-experienced colleagues.
- Introduce and embed practical process improvements that enhance delivery efficiency and quality without unnecessary disruption.
- Ensure robust compliance with health, safety and quality standards across all construction activities.
- Report to senior leadership on programme status, risks and opportunities; contribute to planning future construction capacity and capability.
