We’re supporting a large, complex engineering-led organisation with the appointment of a Building & Construction Project Leader to support a growing workload across an operational site environment.

This role will suit someone who has operated on the client side, leading construction partners and professional services through the full project lifecycle.

• Oversee design development, specifications, and site delivery
• Manage professional service work packages and construction activities on site
• Ensure full compliance with H&S, technical standards, and internal governance
• Own project plans, risk management, reporting, and stakeholder communication

Essential Experience

• Exposure to refurbishment, plant replacement, or live-site projects
• Confident stakeholder management and decision-making capability

This is a solid long-term contract within a stable, well-funded environment, ideal for someone who enjoys ownership, autonomy, and visible project impact.
