Project Director

Description:

Construction Project Director | Permanent | London

This reputable principal contractor was established around the same time Return of the Jedi was hitting cinemas.

More than four decades later, they’re still doing what 'good' contractors do best:

Delivering genuinely impressive projects
Keeping good people
Giving senior staff real responsibility
Building a reputation that has lastedThat combination matters, because this isn’t a business churning through Project Directors every couple of years.

People tend to stay. The work is excellent. The projects are interesting enough to keep experienced construction people interested.

And the senior team are trusted to get on with the job rather than manage everything by committee.

They’re now looking for a Project Director / Contracts Manager.

Someone with plenty of experience, a few battle scars, good judgement — and plenty still ahead of them.

Projects are typically £5m–£30m across:

Super-prime residential
Listed / heritage buildings
Heavy refurbishment / cut & carve
Structural alterations
Complex existing buildings
High-end finishes

We want someone who has come through good contractors, delivered proper projects and carried proper responsibility.

Which probably means you’ve already encountered:

The design that was apparently “closed out”.
The existing building that hadn’t read the survey.
The programme float that mysteriously vanished.
And the client wanting a definitive answer before the detail was quite so definitive.You could be leading one major flagship scheme or overseeing several smaller high-profile projects.

Likely background:

Project Director | Contracts Manager | top-end Senior Project Manager

Technically strong. Commercially aware. Sharp. Polished with clients.

Experienced enough to have earned their stripes. Still hungry for the next flagship project.

Always available for a discreet conversation.
