Head of Project Management (Construction Consultancy)
AD or Director level
Preston
Competitive salary plus car allowance, performance bonus, hybrid working, 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, 5 percent employer pension, professional fees paid and a strong benefits package. Clear progression to Management Board level and equity for the right individual.
Known for a genuinely vibrant and down to earth culture with regular socials.
We are working with a growing multi disciplinary property consultancy of around 40 people, with established offices across the North West and a strong team of 20 based in Preston. The business has built a reputation for high quality delivery, long term client relationships and a culture where people are trusted, challenged and supported to lead.
They are now seeking an ambitious and technically strong Head of Projects as part of a planned succession move within the business.

You will take ownership of an established and successful Project Management service with live work, strong client relationships and a capable team already in place.
Reporting directly to the Commercial Director, you will help shape the direction and performance of the Project Management service while embedding consistency across offices. For the right person, there is a clear and realistic pathway to Management Board participation and equity.
The role combines strategic leadership, client ownership and hands on oversight of complex projects. It suits a Building Surveyor led Project Manager who wants genuine authority, long term influence and responsibility for outcomes, not just delivery.

* Full ownership of the Project Management service including performance, growth and delivery standards
* Lead and develop a high performing project delivery team, building future leaders and holding people to account

* Oversee and lead complex and strategic projects, acting as the escalation point for delivery issues
* Embed consistent processes and standards across offices while encouraging collaboration and knowledge sharing
* Contribute to business strategy and act as a senior voice within the leadership team
* Work closely with other service line leads to drive cross selling and joined up delivery
The Person:
* Building Surveyor background with strong Project Management credentials

* Technically confident and comfortable challenging design teams, consultants and contractors
* Motivated by building something long term within a growing business
