Operations Director – Commercial Projects
Location: London
The Shore Group have been appointed on behalf of one of London's most respected construction businesses, renowned for delivering some of the capital's most challenging commercial refurbishment, retrofit and cut & carve projects. Their reputation has been built on taking on schemes that others won't, solving complex delivery challenges and consistently exceeding client expectations.
Following sustained growth and a record order book, they are now seeking an Operations Director to take ownership of a significant portfolio of major projects and play a central role in shaping the next chapter of the business.
This is not simply another operational leadership position.
This is an opportunity to influence strategy, develop future leaders, drive business performance and leave a lasting mark on a division that is already recognised as one of the strongest performers in its sector.

It searches the market for you

- Driving operational excellence, safety, quality and commercial performance
