The opportunity
With a rapidly expanding portfolio of acute care and healthcare projects, my client is now looking to bring on board a seasoned Project Director to join their thriving Leeds team. This is a brilliant opportunity to lead from the front, shaping the delivery of major healthcare programmes, guiding a skilled team of Project Managers, and taking the reins on key client relationships.
In this high-impact role, you’ll be a driving force behind best-in-class project delivery, championing quality, governance, and performance across every stage. You’ll also play a strategic role in the ongoing growth of the healthcare division, helping to win new business, strengthen client partnerships, and cement the consultancy’s position as a go-to expert in the sector.

* Acting as the primary point of contact for clients, consultants and stakeholders
* Overseeing project planning, governance and delivery processes
* Ensuring performance targets are met across cost, quality, time and safety
* Managing risk and change control processes effectively
* Mentoring and developing the project management team
* Supporting business growth through client engagement and bid development
* Driving financial performance and ensuring accurate, timely invoicing and reporting
What we’re looking for
You’ll either be an experienced Project Director or a Senior Project Manager ready to take that next big step. With a solid track record in healthcare construction and consultancy settings, you’ll bring both the technical expertise and strategic insight needed to lead complex projects with confidence. Commercially sharp, a strong communicator, and an inspiring leader, you’re someone who knows how to deliver real value for clients while motivating teams to perform at their best.
You’ll ideally bring:
* A construction-related degree (or equivalent)
* Extensive construction project delivery experience in the healthcare sector, ideally acute care
* Strong client-facing skills and the ability to build lasting relationships
* A proactive, organised and disciplined approach to leadership
* Excellent written and verbal communication skills
