Head of Construction

Construction Director

Central London.

£90k - £120k plus package

We’re working with a privately owned developer, operating within the living sectors (predominantly hotels & PBSA currently) to recruit a Construction Director to join their team. With a strong pipeline of current work, and future projects, this is a rare opportunity to step into a senior role at a business that manages the full lifecycle of real estate — from acquisition and planning through to delivery and asset management.

This role would suit an ambitious individual who is keen to develop their career with a forward thinking business, where you can take on an exciting workload as well as undertake continued professional development, and be a part of helping the further growth and success of the company.

The role spans both design & procurement and construction delivery, working closely with the Development Director across mixed-use, hotel, residential and student accommodation schemes. You’ll lead on buildability, cost certainty, programme efficiency and quality control, while managing external contractors and consultants through tender, PCSA and into main contract.

The ideal candidate will be from an engineering background (civil / structural, architectural or mechanical) and have 7+ years’ experience in construction or development delivery, , with demonstrable experience of repositioning and refurbishment schemes. Chartered status (MICE, MIStructE, CIBSE, MCIOB or equivalent) is preferred.

My client is happy to consider candidates from another developer, a consultancy or main contractor.

This is a full-time, on-site position based in Mayfair, with regular travel to sites across the UK.

Salary is circa £90k - £120k plus package.

If you have the technical credibility, commercial awareness and ambition to take the next step in your career, we’d love to hear from you.
