·Create elemental cost plans and project briefs to inform strategic investment decisions
·Draft strategic business cases, design options and initial appraisals
·Shape decant and phasing strategies for complex estate reconfigurations
·Ensure compliance with NHS healthcare standards including HTM, HBN and CDM regulations
·Support early-stage prioritisation across a multi-site, multi-million-pound capital pipeline
About You:
You’re a structured thinker with excellent communication skills and a background in surveying, construction, or architecture. You’ll need:
·A degree in building surveying, quantity surveying, construction, or architecture
·Experience managing project feasibility and early-stage design in healthcare environments
·Understanding of NHS estate guidance and capital project standards (HTMs/HBNs) and building regulations
·Ability to translate clinical and operational requirements into viable capital project briefs
Bonus Points:
·Chartered status (e.g. RICS, CIOB, MAPM)
·Experience with AutoCAD and elemental cost planning tools
Why Join NCA?
This is your chance to contribute to one of the most exciting capital investment programmes in UK healthcare. You’ll shape the way infrastructure meets future healthcare needs—working in a high-performing, collaborative, and values-led team.
