Job description

We’re looking for an experienced Project Director to lead the delivery of a complex existing building project in central London.

The project

This is a major, high profile project to transform a significant existing building in central London. The design phase is nearly finished, and the project is getting ready to move into technical design and construction (RIBA Stages 4 and 5). The practice now needs a construction focused leader to take it through to completion.

The role

• Lead delivery through RIBA Stages 4 and 5, from technical design and tender to completion on site.
• Report directly to the practice leadership.
• Oversee 3 to 4 directors, each responsible for their own part of the project, and a team of around 20.
• Own programme, contracts and the client relationship.
• Work closely with contractors, holding them to account and keeping the project on track.

About you

• Around 20 years of experience, from a construction architecture background rather than purely design.
• A record of delivering large, complex projects at construction stage, ideally involving existing buildings.
• The gravitas to lead experienced directors and build trust with clients and contractors.

Salary around £125,000 plus benefits.

Why apply

• You’d lead one of the most significant existing building projects in London.
• It’s a senior seat with direct access to the top of the practice.
• There’s an established team in place, ready for strong leadership.
