This includes full responsibility for subcontractor procurement, management of all subcontract packages, and coordination of suppliers throughout the build process. The role will involve overseeing the design process from RIBA Stage 3 through to Stage 6, ensuring design intent is maintained while supporting efficient, buildable solutions. You will maintain rigorous quality control procedures, uphold health and safety standards at all times, and ensure full compliance with statutory requirements, building regulations, and company policies. Commercially, you will closely monitor project budgets, manage costs, assess risk, and identify opportunities to add value without compromising quality or programme. You will be responsible for managing project risk registers, resolving issues as they arise, and maintaining clear, consistent communication with internal and external stakeholders, providing regular progress updates and reports. Requirements The successful candidate will have proven experience operating at senior project or project director level within residential development, with a strong track record of delivering complex schemes, ideally including high-rise residential projects. A degree in construction management, engineering, or a related discipline is preferred.
