We are seeking an experienced Project Director (Bridges) to lead the successful delivery of major bridge and associated infrastructure projects from initial planning through to completion. The role will provide strategic direction, technical leadership and commercial oversight, ensuring that projects are delivered safely, efficiently, on time and within budget. You will establish clear objectives, manage project governance and maintain strong relationships with clients, consultants, contractors, regulatory authorities and other key stakeholders.
Your responsibilities will include overseeing design development, procurement, construction planning, programme management, risk mitigation, quality assurance and project controls. You will review progress against agreed milestones, identify emerging issues and implement effective corrective actions. The role will also involve managing budgets, variations, forecasts and contractual obligations, while ensuring compliance with relevant legislation, industry standards, environmental requirements and health and safety procedures. You will lead multidisciplinary project teams, promote collaboration and accountability, and provide clear reporting to senior stakeholders. Where required, you will support business development, tender preparation, client presentations and the development of project delivery strategies.

Professional registration or membership of a recognised engineering or construction body would be advantageous. You will be an accomplished leader with excellent communication, negotiation and decision-making skills, capable of managing competing priorities in a demanding environment. A proactive approach to safety, quality, sustainability and continuous improvement is essential, along with the ability to build trust and deliver results through diverse project teams.
