CK3449641 - Programme Manager – Major Projects
North West or Yorkshire | Working: Agile / Hybrid - Competitive, DOE + benefits
About the role
We’re partnering with a forward-thinking construction consultancy on a key hire: a Programme Manager to lead complex, multi-stakeholder construction programmes, from strategy through to successful delivery. You’ll bring clear thinking, first-class people skills, and the agility to steer programmes in fast-moving environments. Experience delivering large, high-profile programmes—ideally in healthcare—will set you apart, though backgrounds in IT or education are also welcome.
What you’ll do
* Own end-to-end construction programme delivery—scope, governance, budget, risk, and benefits realisation.
* Build robust business cases, align stakeholders, and secure approvals.
* Establish and run effective programme controls, reporting, and assurance (PMO).
* Lead multi-disciplinary teams and supply chains to drive outcomes and value.
* Communicate crisply: present milestones, risks, and decisions to boards and senior leaders.
* Champion continuous improvement and business transformation across projects and portfolios.
What you’ll bring
* Proven track record as a Programme Manager on major construction projects (NHS/healthcare strongly preferred; IT/education considered).
* Sharp critical-thinking and problem-solving skills; calm under pressure.
* Exceptional stakeholder management and influencing skills at all levels.
* Demonstrable experience crafting persuasive business cases and delivering board-level presentations.
* Solid grasp of programme methodologies and PMO practices (e.g., MSP, PRINCE2, APM).
* Strong organisation and multi-project juggling in a pacey, change-oriented setting.
* Degree (Business/Project Mgmt or related). PMP/PRINCE2/MSP advantageous.
Why join
* Work with a consultancy that’s scaling, innovating, and investing in its people.
* Visible impact on complex, community-shaping programmes.
* Inclusive, collaborative culture; genuine agile/hybrid working.
* Competitive package with clear progression.
How to apply
If you’re a proactive, results-driven Programme Manager who enjoys the variety and challenge of major programmes—particularly in healthcare—we’d love to hear from you.
