As our new Regional Health Manager, you will play a pivotal role in building and growing Willmott Dixon's healthcare portfolio across the South of England region - developing high-value relationships within the NHS and wider healthcare market, shaping a compelling pipeline of opportunities, and helping convert them into secured work. Reporting to one of our Directors within our Construction South Division, this is a newly created position that reflects our strategic commitment to healthcare as a priority growth sector. Willmott Dixon has recently been appointed to the New Hospital Programme Alliance Framework, a landmark appointment that opens a significant pipeline of NHS capital projects and signals the scale of our ambition in this space. This is a relationship-led, field-based role. You will spend much of your time with clients, consultants, and NHS stakeholders across the region, acting as a credible and trusted face of Willmott Dixon in the healthcare sector. You will work closely with our central Health team, Pre-Construction, and Business Development colleagues to ensure opportunities are shaped, positioned, and progressed effectively. This is a genuinely exciting opportunity to join at the ground floor of a strategic growth push, with the autonomy to shape your own approach and real influence over the direction of our regional healthcare business. NB. This role is regionally based covering the South of England region. The primary base office is Weybridge, Surrey. Due to the nature of the role, regular travel across the region, and occasional national travel will be required. Candidates are expected to be office-based at least once per week, with most of the time spent with clients and stakeholders. Key responsibilities Build and maintain senior-level relationships with NHS Trusts, Integrated Care Systems, Integrated Care Boards, Health Boards, and key healthcare consultants to generate and sustain a strong pipeline of regional opportunities. Lead early-stage business development activity - identifying, shaping, and pre-positioning on healthcare opportunities including feasibilities, negotiated routes, and competitive bids. Support delivery of the Willmott Dixon national Healthcare strategy at a regional level, providing market intelligence and insight to inform pipeline planning and investment decisions. Provide technical healthcare input to proposal and pre-construction teams, improving bid quality, consistency, and overall win rates, including input on clinical planning, operational continuity, and HBN/HTM compliance. Represent Willmott Dixon externally at industry events, conferences, NHS working groups, and networking forums to enhance the company's visibility, reputation, and influence in the healthcare sector. Collaborate with senior executives, Business Development, Marketing, and Operations colleagues to ensure healthcare opportunities align with regional priorities and company capabilities. Monitor and share good practice and market intelligence across LCOs to support a consistent, high-quality, work-winning approach. Track and report on pipeline metrics, growth forecasts, and business development KPIs to assess progress and refine strategy. Essential Skills & Experience Strong, demonstrable experience working within or alongside the NHS or wider healthcare sector, with a deep understanding of NHS governance, policy drivers, funding routes, business case approval processes, and key sector challenges. Proven track record of building and sustaining senior relationships with NHS clients, ICBs, Health Boards, and/or healthcare consultants, with an established and credible network. Good understanding of healthcare procurement routes and frameworks, with the ability to work closely with regional framework leads. Strong market awareness, ability to anticipate demand, shape opportunities, and align solutions to client needs. Excellent communication, presentation, and influencing skills, with the ability to operate credibly at board and senior executive level. Customer-focused mindset with high emotional intelligence, strong interpersonal skills, and the ability to build rapport quickly across a wide variety of stakeholders. Collaborative, 'one team' approach, comfortable working across central and regional functions. Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel regularly across the region. Desirable Skills & Experience Clinical background or direct NHS operational or management experience. Knowledge of healthcare technical requirements and clinical planning principles, including HBNs, HTMs, and operational continuity in live healthcare environments. Experience within the construction or built environment sector (business development, pre-construction, or client-side) will be highly valued but not essential; the right candidate's healthcare expertise and transferable skills are the priority. Experience of bid and capture planning in a complex public sector procurement environment. Degree-level education or equivalent professional experience in a healthcare, clinical, or related field. About Us With over 170 years of rich history, Willmott Dixon's purpose is beyond profit; delivering brilliant buildings, transforming lives, strengthening communities and enhancing the environment so our world is fit for future generations. Ensuring that we add lasting value to the neighbourhoods we work in; our values, people, innovation, partnerships and focus on sustainability has allowed us to build a successful and solid privately owned business where our people can thrive.
