Project Director - Structures, Groundworks & Major Civil Engineering Deliver landmark projects. Lead exceptional people. Build a career without limits. Salary: £100,000 - £140,000 + Performance Bonus + Comprehensive Benefits + Accommodation & Travel (where applicable) Locations: London, Lincolnshire, Middlesbrough. About the Employer: Our client is one of the UK's most progressive and respected privately-owned specialist structures and civil engineering contractors, generating annual revenues in excess of £200 million and delivering some of the country's most technically demanding construction projects. Built on engineering excellence, innovation and an uncompromising commitment to quality, the organisation has earned a reputation for delivering complex schemes that many contractors simply wouldn't pursue. Through continued investment in its people, engineering capability, technology and modern construction methods, it continues to set new standards across the specialist construction sector. Today, the organisation delivers landmark projects across the residential, energy, marine, infrastructure and industrial sectors, combining specialist expertise in RC Frame construction, reinforced concrete structures, complex groundworks, basements and major civil engineering. Unlike many specialist contractors whose workload is concentrated within a single market, this organisation offers something genuinely different: the opportunity to build an exceptionally diverse portfolio of projects while remaining part of one financially strong and ambitious business. A significant proportion of new work comes from repeat business with long-standing clients, reflecting the quality of delivery and trusted relationships the organisation has built over many years. Continued investment in engineering capability, digital construction, specialist plant, modern construction methods and its people enables the organisation to consistently deliver projects that many competitors simply don't have the capability to undertake. Despite its impressive growth, the organisation has retained a down-to-earth culture built around teamwork, integrity and long-term relationships. It believes in empowering its people, recognising performance and promoting from within wherever possible. As the organisation continues its impressive growth trajectory, there will be genuine opportunities to progress into Regional Director and other senior operational leadership positions, allowing ambitious individuals to influence the future direction of one of the UK's leading specialist engineering contractors. About the Role: Due to continued growth, a substantial secured order book and the award of several major contracts, our client is looking to appoint a number of experienced Project Directors to support the next phase of its expansion. While the majority of the organisation's workload remains focused across London and the South East, where it continues to deliver prestigious RC Frame, reinforced concrete, concrete structures, structural frames, basements and complex groundwork packages, it is also regularly selected to undertake specialist projects throughout the UK that challenge conventional construction expertise. Current opportunities include: Landmark high-rise residential developments across London. A major Energy from Waste development incorporating a substantial reinforced concrete bunker and associated civil engineering works in Middlesbrough. A significant marine infrastructure project delivering complex civil engineering and groundwork packages in Lincolnshire. Project values typically range between £20 million and £50 million, although the technical complexity often rivals schemes of considerably greater value. Reporting to the Regional Director, you'll assume full responsibility for the successful delivery of major projects from pre-construction through to completion. These are not repetitive projects. They involve technically demanding engineering, significant reinforced concrete structures, complex temporary works, multidisciplinary delivery teams and programmes where leadership, technical understanding and commercial awareness are equally important. Project Directors are trusted to lead with genuine autonomy, supported by an experienced senior leadership team that values collaboration, accountability and proactive decision-making. Your responsibilities will include: Leading projects valued between £20 million and £50 million from mobilisation through to completion. Providing strategic leadership across operational, engineering and commercial functions. Developing and inspiring high-performing project teams. Managing commercial performance, programme delivery and project risk. Building long-term relationships with clients, consultants and stakeholders. Driving exceptional standards of health, safety, quality and environmental performance. Mentoring and developing future operational leaders. Contributing towards the continued growth and success of the wider organisation. Few organisations can offer the security of a £200m+ turnover business, a pipeline centred around London and the South East, and the opportunity to lead landmark engineering projects across sectors as diverse as high-rise residential, energy, marine and major civil engineering all within one career. About You: We're interested in speaking with experienced Project Directors, Senior Project Managers and Contracts Managers who have built their careers with specialist subcontractors delivering RC Frame construction, reinforced concrete structures, basements and complex groundworks, and who are looking to broaden their experience without moving away from the sector that has made them successful. This opportunity will particularly appeal to senior operational leaders who have delivered major reinforced concrete, structural and groundwork packages and are now looking to apply that expertise across increasingly diverse engineering sectors. You'll ideally have experience delivering one or more of the following: RC Frame construction. Reinforced concrete structures. Complex groundworks. Basement construction. Temporary works. Major civil engineering. Marine engineering. Energy or industrial construction. Infrastructure projects. Experience delivering projects valued between £20 million and £50 million will be highly advantageous. More importantly, you'll be an accomplished leader who enjoys solving complex engineering challenges, developing talented teams and delivering projects that leave a lasting legacy. You'll be comfortable taking ownership, building trusted relationships with clients, motivating multidisciplinary teams and making informed decisions that drive successful project outcomes. Whether your ambition is to continue delivering prestigious London developments or broaden your experience across sectors such as energy, marine and infrastructure, this role provides the platform to achieve both. Salary, Benefits & Career Opportunity: £100,000 - £140,000 basic salary (depending on experience). Performance-related bonus. Comprehensive benefits package. Long-term career progression within one of the UK's leading specialist structures and civil engineering contractors. Genuine opportunities to progress into Regional Director and senior operational leadership positions. A secure pipeline of work centred around London and the South East. Exposure to flagship projects across residential, energy, marine, infrastructure and industrial sectors. The opportunity to deliver some of the UK's most prestigious and technically challenging engineering projects. Work alongside highly experienced engineers, commercial professionals and operational leaders in a collaborative environment where expertise is shared and success is recognised. Continued investment in technology, engineering capability and modern construction methods. For projects located outside London and the South East, quality accommodation and travel expenses can be provided, allowing you to broaden your experience while maintaining a healthy balance with home life. If you're looking for more than just your next project and you're looking to take the expertise you've developed within the specialist RC Frame, structures and groundworks sector and apply it to some of the UK's most challenging engineering projects, this represents a rare long-term career opportunity.
