Project Director

This is not a role for someone seeking an easy project. It is a high-pressure, fast-track delivery environment, where projects are delivered significantly faster than traditional contractors through overlapping trades, aggressive programmes, and full lifecycle control.
You will take full ownership of a large-scale industrial new build project across sectors such as data centres, pharmaceuticals, and logistics, serving as the lead on site from early-stage design through to commissioning and handover.
You’ll be working for a contractor renowned for delivering projects faster than competitors, where decisions are made quickly, expectations are high, and performance dictates success. If you thrive in an environment where you are trusted to deliver, exert influence at every level, and drive programmes forward with minimal supervision, then this is where you will excel.
