Construction Director
Location: North West
Salary: £120,000 - £150,000 + Car / Allowance + Package
We’re supporting a growing contractor and housebuilder with an established development arm, known for delivering high‑quality residential and mixed‑tenure schemes across the region. The business has already delivered a significant number of homes over recent years and built strong relationships with partners, funders and local authorities.
Under new ownership and guided by two highly respected senior leaders with extensive experience delivering large‑scale residential projects across the UK, the company is now entering a new phase of growth. With existing schemes underway, a healthy pipeline of units and a clear ambition to modernise and strengthen the construction function, this is a pivotal moment to join.
This is a rare opportunity to step in early, shape the construction operation, set the standards and build a high‑performing team within a business that has the energy, ambition and backing to scale.
Key Responsibilities:
• Lead the construction function across multiple residential schemes, ensuring safe, high‑quality and timely delivery
• Oversee the full build lifecycle, embedding strong programme discipline and buildability from pre‑construction through to completion
• Work closely with senior leadership to shape construction strategy, sequencing, logistics and delivery models
• Build, mentor and develop a high‑performing construction team with clear standards, accountability and strong site leadership
• Collaborate with Commercial, Technical and Pre‑Construction teams to ensure alignment on programme, cost, quality and risk
• Maintain rigorous health and safety standards across all sites, ensuring a culture of safe working practices
• Support early‑stage planning and design reviews to ensure efficiency, buildability and commercial viability
• Drive continuous improvement, implementing systems, processes and ways of working that support growth and operational excellence
• Represent construction at senior leadership level, contributing to business planning, forecasting and long‑term strategy
• Ensure customer satisfaction benchmarks are met, with a focus on quality, handover standards and aftercare performance
What We’re Looking For:
• Proven experience as a Construction Director or Senior Construction Leader within residential development, housebuilding or mixed‑use delivery
• Strong track record delivering multi‑site programmes across traditional housing and/or mixed‑use or mid‑rise schemes
• A hands‑on, energetic leader who thrives in a fast‑moving, delivery‑focused environment
• Experience shaping or improving construction systems, processes and delivery models
• Ability to build and inspire teams, set standards and drive accountability
• Commercial awareness and understanding of how construction decisions impact programme, cost and quality
• A collaborative approach, working closely with Technical, Commercial and Pre‑Con to ensure alignment
• Someone who wants to be part of a rebuild — comfortable with challenge, excited by opportunity and motivated by creating something meaningful
What’s In It For You:
• Basic Salary: £120,000–£150,000
• Car / Car Allowance
• Bonus Structure
• 25+ Days Holiday + Bank Holidays
• Pension & Benefits Package
• The chance to join early and shape the construction function from the ground up
• Direct access to a highly respected leadership team with a track record of building successful residential businesses
• Real influence, autonomy and the opportunity to put your stamp on a growing organisation
• A pipeline of existing schemes and future opportunities that will support long‑term growth and progression
