The Opportunity

We're recruiting for a Project Manager - Capital Works to join a well-established team delivering projects across two flag ship hospitals in London.

This is a cradle-to-grave role, leading variations and capital works within a live, healthcare environments subject to the Building Safety Act.

Project values typically range from £50k-£600k, with larger schemes up to £1m-£2m+, and occasional major projects (e.g. £12m A&E redevelopment).

What Makes This Role Different

This isn't about being the most technical person in the room.

It's about being the one who can:

• Lead the design process end-to-end (RIBA 1-7)
• Challenge and manage consultants effectively
• Navigate the complexity of live hospital environments and multiple stakeholders
• Deliver projects professionally, not reactively

The Role

• Lead capital works and variation projects from concept through to completion
• Take ownership of design team leadership, ensuring progress through all RIBA stages
• Act as the key interface between Trust, SPV, consultants, and delivery teams
• Manage projects within live hospital settings, balancing programme, logistics, and patient impact
• Oversee procurement, contractor performance, and delivery on site
• Ensure compliance with CDM Regulations, Building Safety Act, and golden thread principles
• Produce clear reporting on programme, risks, and performance
• Contribute to a more structured, professional project delivery approach across the contract

The Environment

• Hospital 1 - Major trauma/A&E site, three high-rise towers (16 storeys), fast-paced and complex
• Hospital 2 - Specialist cancer centre, more planned works, heritage considerations
• Potential future work across additional sites within the Trust

You'll be working across both, so adaptability is key.

What We're Looking For

• Strong experience delivering projects in complex environments (healthcare, PFI, large estates, or similar)
• Proven ability to lead design teams through RIBA stages 1-7
• Understanding of the Building Safety Act (direct experience ideal, but not essential)
• Solid working knowledge of CDM regulations and duty holder responsibilities
• Comfortable managing multiple stakeholders (client, SPV, consultants, contractors)
• Broad technical understanding (Mech or Elec), without needing to be a specialist
• Personable, professional, and collaborative - able to build trust with clients

The Team & Culture

• Small but growing team (SPM + APMs), with clear plans to expand
• Strong client relationships already in place, this role builds on that
• Work-hard, flexible culture, autonomy trusted, not micromanaged
• Opportunity to shape how projects are delivered as the contract evolves

Salary & Benefits

• Up to £70,000 per annum
• £5k Car or car allowance (including electric/hybrid options)
• 27 days holiday + bank holidays
• Private healthcare
• Pension (up to 7-9% employer contribution)
• Overtime or time off in lieu (where applicable)
• Flexible working (typically 1-2 days from home depending on project activity)

Location

This role requires regular presence on-site in Central/East London.

Candidates should be within a reasonable commuting distance, some early site access and live project delivery make this important.
