• Managing programme, budget, quality, risk and project governance.
• Administering NEC3 and NEC4 contracts, including early warnings, compensation events and change control.
• Chairing project and stakeholder meetings.
• Supporting procurement, tendering and contractor appointments.
• Managing complex clinical, estates and operational stakeholders.
• Identifying project risks and implementing appropriate mitigation.
• Supporting and mentoring junior members of the Project Management team.

About You

You will ideally have:

• A strong track record of delivering healthcare projects.
• Experience of NHS, hospital, clinical or wider healthcare environments would be particularly advantageous.
• Good working knowledge of NEC3 and/or NEC4 contracts.
• Experience managing project programmes, budgets, risk and change.
• Strong client-facing and stakeholder management skills.
• The ability to lead multidisciplinary project teams.
• RICS, CIOB, APM or equivalent professional membership would be advantageous but is not essential.

What's On Offer

The position offers the opportunity to work on significant healthcare projects and programmes across the West Midlands, with exposure to senior client relationships and complex project delivery.

For someone looking beyond their next individual project, there is also the opportunity to develop further within an established Project Management team and take on increasing responsibility as your career progresses.
