Are you a qualified and experienced Construction Project Manager ready to lead an historic/once in a generation NHS build?
University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust is embarking on an ambitious programme of transformation of its services and estate. We have been selected for investment under the government’s New Hospital Programme and are undertaking a phased redevelopment of the Derriford estate over the next decade. In parallel with work at the acute hospital, the Trust is also delivering a substantial programme of work in the wider Plymouth healthcare estate in conjunction with our partner organisations.
We are now looking for a Senior Capital Projects Manager to join our Future Hospital Programme team, to manage the delivery of our Emergency Care Building and support major capital projects both in Derriford and across Plymouth. The successful candidate will be a qualified construction professional, with a background in construction project or programme management; having managed major building schemes, and will be involved in the whole project lifecycle, from business case development, sustainable design and construction, operational delivery, through to post project evaluation and reporting. Experience of procurement and previous use of standard forms of contract will be required, whilst great communication skills, both written and verbal will be essential.
