This isn't about being the most technical person in the room.
It's about being the one who can:
Lead the design process end-to-end (RIBA 1-7)
Challenge and manage consultants effectively
Navigate the complexity of live hospital environments and multiple stakeholders
Deliver projects professionally, not reactively
The Role
Lead capital works and variation projects from concept through to completion

Manage projects within live hospital settings, balancing programme, logistics, and patient impact

Ensure compliance with CDM Regulations, Building Safety Act, and golden thread principles
Produce clear reporting on programme, risks, and performance
Contribute to a more structured, professional project delivery approach across the contract
The Environment
Hospital 1 - Major trauma/A&E site, three high-rise towers (16 storeys), fast-paced and complex
Hospital 2 - Specialist cancer centre, more planned works, heritage considerations
Potential future work across additional sites within the Trust
You'll be working across both, so adaptability is key.
What We're Looking For
Strong experience delivering projects in complex environments (healthcare, PFI, large estates, or similar)
Proven ability to lead design teams through RIBA stages 1-7
Understanding of the Building Safety Act (direct experience ideal, but not essential)
Solid working knowledge of CDM regulations and duty holder responsibilities
Comfortable managing multiple stakeholders (client, SPV, consultants, contractors)
Broad technical understanding (Mech or Elec), without needing to be a specialist
Personable, professional, and collaborative - able to build trust with clients
The Team & Culture
Small but growing team (SPM + APMs), with clear plans to expand
Strong client relationships already in place, this role builds on that
Work-hard, flexible culture, autonomy trusted, not micromanaged
Opportunity to shape how projects are delivered as the contract evolves
Salary & Benefits
Up to £70,000 per annum
£5k Car or car allowance (including electric/hybrid options)
27 days holiday + bank holidays
Private healthcare
Pension (up to 7-9% employer contribution)
Overtime or time off in lieu (where applicable)
Flexible working (typically 1-2 days from home depending on project activity)
Location
This role requires regular presence on-site in Central/East London.
Candidates should be within a reasonable commuting distance, some early site access and live project delivery make this important.
