Deliver high impact capital projects across Gloucestershire’s hospitals

The Opportunity

Seymour John Public Services is delighted to be partnering with Gloucestershire Managed Services Limited (GMS) to recruit two Senior Project Managers at a pivotal stage in the development of its Capital Delivery function.

This is an opportunity for experienced capital delivery professionals to lead projects within a varied and high impact programme that create and improve healthcare facilities, clinical and operational spaces, hospital infrastructure and statutory compliance across Gloucestershire’s hospitals.

The Person

Applicants should demonstrate direct responsibility for delivering projects within a varied capital, estates, infrastructure or construction programme, including technically demanding or operationally sensitive schemes. We are interested in the candidate’s personal accountability, judgement and delivery outcomes, rather than project value alone.

• experience delivering projects through the full lifecycle, from initial requirement and scope development through design, procurement, construction, commissioning and handover
• experience maintaining effective project controls, including programmes, budgets, risks, issues, changes, decisions, assurance, reporting and auditable project documentation
• experience leading multidisciplinary project teams and managing the appointment, coordination and performance of consultants, contractors and specialist advisers
• experience providing line management, professional support and constructive challenge to Project Managers and other delivery colleagues
• strong commercial and financial judgement, with the ability to manage project risks, programmes and competing stakeholder requirements
• excellent communication, influencing and relationship building skills

Healthcare capital experience would be advantageous. Candidates from other occupied, regulated or operationally sensitive environments will also be considered where they can demonstrate directly transferable project delivery experience.
