Project Director

We are seeking an experienced Project Director to lead the successful delivery of a major, complex programme from initial concept through to completion. This is a senior leadership role requiring strong commercial judgement, excellent stakeholder management and the ability to bring together multidisciplinary teams to achieve ambitious objectives.

You will establish clear project governance, oversee delivery plans and ensure that scope, quality, cost and timescales remain carefully controlled. Working closely with senior stakeholders, consultants, contractors and internal teams, you will provide strategic direction while maintaining a clear focus on outcomes, value and risk management.

Key responsibilities

  • Provide overall leadership and accountability for the project lifecycle, from strategy and planning through to handover.
  • Develop and manage detailed programmes, budgets, procurement strategies and resource plans.
  • Lead project governance, reporting and decision-making processes, ensuring accurate and timely information is available.
  • Identify, assess and manage commercial, operational, regulatory and delivery risks.
  • Coordinate internal and external teams, resolving issues and maintaining strong working relationships.
  • Monitor performance against agreed milestones, costs, quality standards and key performance indicators.
  • Ensure compliance with relevant legislation, policies, health and safety requirements and industry standards.
  • Present progress, challenges and recommendations to senior leadership and key stakeholders.
  • Support continuous improvement by reviewing delivery methods, lessons learned and project outcomes.

About you

You will have substantial experience directing large-scale or highly complex projects, ideally within a regulated, technical, construction, infrastructure or similarly demanding environment. A recognised project or programme management qualification, such as APM, PRINCE2 or equivalent, would be advantageous.

You will be a confident and credible leader with proven experience managing budgets, negotiating with senior stakeholders and motivating teams through periods of change. Strong analytical, organisational and communication skills are essential, together with the ability to make sound decisions, manage competing priorities and deliver results in a high-profile environment.

This role offers the opportunity to shape a significant programme and make a lasting contribution through effective leadership, collaboration and delivery excellence.
