Our Client
Our client — a leading independent firm of Development, Built Asset & Engineering and Sustainability consultants — is growing year on year and has a fantastic reputation for staff retention. They are now recruiting for a newly created, client-funded Programme Director role to lead one of the most significant building safety remediation programmes in the UK. Please note: this is a 3-year fixed-term contract.
The Opportunity
Our client has been appointed Programme Lead for a major institutional client's national building safety remediation programme — a multi-year, portfolio-wide initiative covering circa 400 buildings across Direct and Indirect Self-Remediation Terms and Orphan assets, all subject to the Building Safety Act. This is a newly created, fully client-funded post giving you single-client focus and full ownership of delivery, governance and the client relationship. You'll be the day-to-day face of the programme to the client's Remediation Delivery Committee and Fund Steering Committee, leading a team spanning PMO, workstream leads and technical specialists, backed by a wider technical resource pool of building surveyors, project managers, quantity surveyors, and structural and façade engineers.
