Project Director

Location: North West

Salary: £100,000-£130,000 + 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 successfully delivered several hundred homes in recent years and is now entering a new phase of growth under new ownership and the guidance of two highly respected senior leaders with extensive experience delivering large-scale residential projects across the UK.

With existing schemes underway and a strong pipeline of future developments - including medium- to large-scale mixed-use projects - the business is strengthening its senior delivery team. This is a key appointment and a rare opportunity to join early, take ownership of major projects and help shape the delivery culture of a business with serious momentum.

If you're motivated by leading complex schemes, building high-performing teams and delivering quality homes with pride, this is a standout opportunity.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the successful delivery of major residential and mixed-tenure schemes, ensuring works are completed safely, on programme and to the highest quality standards
• Provide day-to-day leadership to site teams, ensuring clarity, accountability and strong operational discipline
• Oversee all aspects of project delivery including programme management, logistics, sequencing, buildability and technical coordination
• Work closely with Commercial, Technical and Pre-Construction teams to ensure alignment on cost, design, risk and delivery strategy
• Manage relationships with subcontractors, consultants, local authorities and client-side stakeholders
• Ensure rigorous health and safety standards across all operations, embedding a culture of safe working practices
• Lead early-stage planning, design reviews and pre-construction activity to ensure efficiency, buildability and commercial viability
• Identify and mitigate project risks, ensuring proactive problem-solving and strong decision-making
• Drive continuous improvement across delivery, quality and customer experience
• Represent the project at senior leadership level, providing clear reporting on progress, risk, programme and performance

What We're Looking For:

• Proven experience as a Project Director or Senior Project Lead delivering multi-phase residential or mixed-tenure schemes
• Strong background in housebuilding, contracting or mixed-use development
• Experience managing complex sites, multi-block schemes or large-scale residential projects
• Excellent understanding of buildability, sequencing, logistics and technical coordination
• Strong leadership skills with the ability to motivate, guide and develop site teams
• Deep knowledge of health and safety, CDM regulations and quality standards
• Ability to work collaboratively with Commercial, Technical and Pre-Con teams
• A proactive, solutions-focused mindset with strong decision-making capability
• Someone who thrives in a growing, evolving environment and is motivated by helping shape delivery standards and culture
• Experience delivering medium- to large-scale mixed-use schemes is beneficial but not essential

What's In It For You:

• Basic Salary: £100,000-£130,000
• Car / Car Allowance
• Bonus Structure
• 25+ Days Holiday + Bank Holidays
• Pension & Benefits Package
• The chance to join early and influence how major projects are delivered
• Direct access to a highly respected leadership team with a track record of building successful residential businesses
• Real autonomy, responsibility and the opportunity to put your stamp on a growing organisation
• A pipeline of existing schemes and future opportunities, including medium- to large-scale mixed-use developments
