Director of Project Delivery - CAT B office fit out

The Shore Group has been engaged to identify a Director of Project Delivery for one of the UK's most respected Design & Build contractors.

We are seeking an experienced office fit out professional with a proven track record of delivering complex workplace projects and leading high-performing delivery teams. Someone who is respected for their technical expertise, trusted to solve problems and capable of driving exceptional project outcomes in demanding environments.

Working closely with the Board and senior leadership team, you will take ownership of the delivery function, ensuring projects are safely delivered on programme, within budget and to the highest possible standards. You will provide leadership, support and direction to Project Directors, Project Managers and site teams, while maintaining a visible presence across key projects and client accounts.

This opportunity has been created for a high-performing individual currently operating within a leading Design & Build environment who has outgrown their current remit and is seeking a role with greater influence, leadership responsibility and the opportunity to shape the delivery strategy of a highly successful business.

If you've reached the point where progression is less about title and more about responsibility, this represents an opportunity to play a significant role in the leadership and delivery of a highly regarded contractor.

• Play a key role in developing future project leadership talent across the business
• Join a highly respected contractor with an exceptional reputation for quality, innovation and client satisfaction
• Performance is rewarded through a highly competitive financial package aligned to individual and business success

Due to the senior nature of this role, you will ideally demonstrate:

• A proven track record within a leading Design & Build office fit-out business
• Extensive experience delivering complex construction projects valued between £5m and £25m+ which MUST include CAT B Office projects
• Extensive experience leading Project Managers, Construction Managers and site teams
