Job Description
Construction Director
Location: North West
Salary: 100,000 - 130,000 + Allowance + Package
Our client is an established North West residential business with a strong pipeline of current and future developments. As the business enters its next stage of growth, it is investing in its leadership, people and operational capability to create a construction function capable of supporting its long-term ambitions.
We're looking for a Construction Director who's been through the journey before. Someone who knows how to strengthen a construction function, build the right team, raise standards and put the structure and discipline in place to support growth. This isn't about inheriting a finished product. There will be challenges to work through, and it will require resilience, energy and determination, but you'll have the backing, autonomy and influence to shape the function and build something meaningful for the long term.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead the construction function across multiple residential schemes, ensuring safe, high-quality and timely delivery
Oversee the full build lifecycle, embedding strong programme discipline and buildability from pre-construction through to completion
Work closely with senior leadership to shape construction strategy, sequencing, logistics and delivery models
Build, mentor and develop a high-performing construction team with clear standards, accountability and strong site leadership
Collaborate with Commercial, Technical and Pre-Construction teams to ensure alignment on programme, cost, quality and risk
Maintain rigorous health and safety standards across all sites, ensuring a culture of safe working practices
Support early-stage planning and design reviews to ensure efficiency, buildability and commercial viability
Drive continuous improvement, implementing systems, processes and ways of working that support growth and operational excellence
Represent construction at senior leadership level, contributing to business planning, forecasting and long-term strategy
Ensure customer satisfaction benchmarks are met, with a focus on quality, handover standards and aftercare performance
What We're Looking For:
- Proven experience as a Construction Director or Senior Construction Leader within residential development, housebuilding or mixed-use delivery
Strong track record of leading multi-site residential construction programmes
Evidence of having strengthened, rebuilt or scaled a construction function, rather than simply operated within an established structure
A hands-on, energetic leader who thrives in a fast-moving, delivery-focused environment
Experience shaping or improving construction systems, processes and delivery models
The resilience and determination to work through challenges while keeping sight of the longer-term vision
Ability to build and inspire teams, set standards and drive accountability
Strong commercial awareness and an understanding of how construction decisions impact programme, cost and quality
A collaborative approach, working closely across Technical, Commercial and Pre-Construction functions
Someone who enjoys the build, not just the finished product - comfortable with challenge and motivated by creating something meaningful
What's In It For You:
- Basic Salary: 100,000- 130,000
Car Allowance
Bonus Structure
25+ Days Holiday + Bank Holidays
Pension & Benefits Package
The chance to join at a pivotal stage and genuinely shape the construction function
Direct access to an experienced senior leadership team
Real influence, autonomy and the opportunity to put your stamp on a growing organisation
A strong pipeline of work supporting long-term growth and progression
