DSFS requires a highly motivated Senior Project Manager to be based within the Project Team at Chesterfield Royal Hospital. The role will work within a team of project managers, providing lead project management services and contributing to the delivery of the Capital Programme, which includes clinical and non-clinical refurbishment and new build projects to the highest standard across the Trust.

The Senior Project Manager will use their skills, knowledge, and experience to deliver a variety of complex high-value schemes, small-scale capital schemes, minor works, and revenue schemes. This includes assisting project managers in delivering complex capital projects, providing support and guidance as required.

Extensive knowledge and experience in the development of capital schemes from inception to in-use are required, as is the ability to manage construction professionals, design teams, and stakeholders engaged in the design and construction process. Knowledge and experience of both NEC and JCT construction contracts and the Green Book 5 business case model are required. Candidates should also have demonstrable experience in commercial awareness and understanding of compliant procurement routes to market, including good governance arrangements.

The role will require occasional travel to our customers based outside Chesterfield Royal Hospital, such as the community clinics we manage for Royal Primary Care.

Main duties of the job

1. Plan, manage and coordinate complex high-value schemes, small-scale capital schemes, minor works, and revenue schemes
2. The ability to effectively manage construction contractors and design professionals to ensure projects are delivered within the parameters of time, cost, and quality is a fundamental requirement.
3. Producing project-specific reports to ensure the Head of Capital Projects and relevant stakeholders are fully sighted on risk, budget, and progress.
4. Monitor project financial progress, analyse financial forecasts, and make judgements regarding changes to the project as needed to remain within the project constraints. Manage changes to scheme content within approved limits as the project evolves, following the change control process.
5. Complete design and specifications that will promote both realistic compliance with NHS and National Specification documents and the future cost-effective operation of buildings, plant and systems within the existing Estate.
6. Managing specialist contractors and estate team members in accordance with relevant policies, specifications, HTMs and regulations.

Educated to degree level (or equivalent experience), you will demonstrate a proven track record of scheme delivery within the NHS or a similar complex organisation. The successful candidate will form part of a multidisciplinary capital team reporting to the Head of Capital Projects for overall programme and project delivery.
