Project Director
Birmingham

This is not a role for someone looking for an easy project. This is a high-pressure, fast-track delivery environment where projects are delivered significantly faster than traditional contractors through overlapping trades, aggressive programmes, and full lifecycle control.
You will take full ownership of a large-scale industrial new build project across sectors such as data centres, pharmaceuticals, and logistics, operating as the number one on site from early-stage design through to commissioning and handover.
You'll be working for a contractor known for delivering projects faster than competitors, where decisions are made quickly, expectations are high, and performance is everything. If you thrive in environments where you are trusted to deliver, influence at every level, and drive programmes forward without hand-holding this is where you will excel. With a rapidly expanding footprint across the UK and Europe, the business is investing heavily into its project pipeline, creating clear opportunities for long-term progression and leadership growth.
Your Role As A Project Director Will Include:
Full ownership of a high-value industrial construction project
Driving an aggressive programme with overlapping civils, structure, and MEP packages
Leading from the front on site not a desk-based role
Managing and pushing multidisciplinary teams to hit critical milestones
Making key decisions quickly to maintain programme and delivery targets
Acting as the key interface between client, consultants, and delivery teams
Ensuring safety, quality, and delivery are maintained under tight timelines
As A Project Director You Will Have:
Proven experience delivering large-scale projects in industrial, pharma, logistics, or mission-critical environments
Experience working on fast-track or high-pressure construction programmes
Strong leadership presence able to challenge, influence, and drive teams
Comfortable operating in environments where expectations are high and timelines are tight
Track record of delivering projects on time under pressure
The Reality of the Role:
Fast-paced, demanding environment not for everyone
High level of autonomy and accountability
You will be expected to own problems and solve them quickly
Strong rewards, progression, and long-term opportunity for those who perform
