PROJECT DIRECTOR | £120M LANDMARK DEVELOPMENT | UP TO £130K + PACKAGE
A Tier 1 main contractor is looking to appoint a Project Director for a landmark £120m development, offering up to £130,000 + package.
This is a genuinely complex project and an opportunity to take ownership of a major scheme from PCSA through to completion, rather than stepping into a project that is already well into delivery.
The Project
The development forms part of a significant long-term regeneration and investment programme for a globally recognised engineering and technology organisation.
The scheme will bring together a number of highly technical construction elements, including:
- Large-scale steel frame buildings
- Commercial and specialist buildings
- Clean room environments
- Complex MEP and building services installations
- Extensive structural and architectural interfaces
- Significant design development and coordination
- Specialist and technically demanding packages
- Multiple stakeholder and supply chain interfaces
- A challenging programme with a high level of technical coordination
The project will be entering a 40-week PCSA period, giving the successful Project Director the opportunity to have genuine influence over the preconstruction strategy, design development, procurement, buildability, programme and delivery methodology before taking the project through a c.2-year construction programme to handover.

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The Business
The business is an established Tier 1 main contractor with a strong track record across complex commercial, specialist and technically demanding construction projects.
They have built a reputation for taking on schemes where strong technical delivery, detailed planning and close collaboration between the client, design team and supply chain are critical to success.
This is a business where senior project leaders are given genuine responsibility and are expected to take ownership of their projects, rather than simply managing a defined package of work.
The successful individual will have significant exposure to the client, consultants, design team and wider project leadership, with the opportunity to play a key role in shaping the project from its earliest stages.
The Role
As Project Director, you will have overall responsibility for the successful delivery of the scheme, leading the project from PCSA through to completion.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Providing strategic leadership across preconstruction and delivery
- Leading the PCSA process and transition into construction
- Driving design development, buildability and value engineering
- Developing and managing the overall project programme
- Leading commercial, operational and contractual performance
- Managing senior client and consultant relationships
- Overseeing procurement and specialist package strategy
- Managing design, technical and construction interfaces
- Providing leadership to the wider project team
- Driving health & safety, quality and environmental performance
- Managing programme, risk and project governance
- Ensuring successful delivery through to PC and handover
