(Or a PM who's basically already doing the job but waiting for someone in HR to notice)
Are you a Project Manager who's 'almost' been running 100m+ sites while your Project Director circles back on email?
Or maybe you're already a Project Director, just looking for a company that doesn't treat every decision like a UN resolution.

The Company
Think Tier 1 build quality without the Tier 1 nonsense. All the tools, none of the tape.
This contractor is backed by a well-funded parent company (the type that pays on time and doesn't do jazz hands every time someone says procurement). They've got all the toys in-house: demo, piling, superstructure, joinery, haulage - and actually finish jobs. Properly. Not let's get practical completion and run

Projects include:
50m + New build film studios - where the actors pretend and the builders actually work
50m + Luxury retirement apartments - posh pensioners and marble loos
50m + Football stadium extensions - for clubs who think this season's our year (bless 'em)

What you'll need to bring:
Tier 1 experience - if you've made it through a pre-start meeting with 14 consultants and lived to tell the tale, that counts
Either already a Project Director, or a Project Manager who's basically running the show but still being patted on the head
Stuck around long enough to see a job finished - not someone who updates their CV every time the kettle breaks.
Have proper construction knowledge - not just fluent in buzzwords like value engineering and project synergies
Can read a programme, challenge it, fix it, and not have a meltdown when the brickies disappear for two weeks

What you'll be doing
Running 50m jobs like they're yours (because they are) from breaking ground to cutting ribbons
Taking responsibility without needing a committee to back you up
Getting stuff built properly, safely, and on time - while fending off 800 urgent emails about what shade of grey the cladding is
Leading from the front - boots on, not just boots in the back of the car

What you won't be doing
Filling in ten forms to order a skip
Sitting in meetings where someone says let's park that for now and then drives off forever.
Explaining what a soffit is to a senior stakeholder named Clive who once built a treehouse in 1989

This role could also be referred to as a Project Manager, Senior Project Manager, Senior Construction Manager, Construction Manager, Project Director or Project Lead

I know this ad's had a bit of fun, but let's be clear-I'm a serious recruiter working with a serious contractor, and this is a seriously good opportunity. If you've got the experience and the grit to handle projects that matter, I want to hear from you.
