Location: North West

Salary: £100,000-£130,000 + Car / Allowance + Package

We're supporting a growing contractor and housebuilder with an established development arm, known for delivering high‑quality residential and mixed‑tenure schemes across the region. The business has successfully delivered several hundred homes in recent years and is now entering a new phase of growth under new ownership and the guidance of two highly respected senior leaders with extensive experience delivering large‑scale residential projects across the UK.

With existing schemes underway and a strong pipeline of future developments - including medium‑ to large‑scale mixed‑use projects - the business is strengthening its senior delivery team. This is a key appointment and a rare opportunity to join early, take ownership of major projects and help shape the delivery culture of a business with serious momentum.

If you're motivated by leading complex schemes, building high‑performing teams and delivering quality homes with pride, this is a standout opportunity.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead the successful delivery of major residential and mixed‑tenure schemes, ensuring works are completed safely, on programme and to the highest quality standards
Provide day‑to‑day leadership to site teams, ensuring clarity, accountability and strong operational discipline
Oversee all aspects of project delivery including programme management, logistics, sequencing, buildability and technical coordination
Work closely with Commercial, Technical and Pre‑Construction teams to ensure alignment on cost, design, risk and delivery strategy

Ensure rigorous health and safety standards across all operations, embedding a culture of safe working practices
Lead early‑stage planning, design reviews and pre‑construction activity to ensure efficiency, buildability and commercial viability
Identify and mitigate project risks, ensuring proactive problem‑solving and strong decision‑making
Drive continuous improvement across delivery, quality and customer experience
Represent the project at senior leadership level, providing clear reporting on progress, risk, programme and performance

What We're Looking For:

Proven experience as a Project Director or Senior Project Lead delivering multi‑phase residential or mixed‑tenure schemes
Strong background in housebuilding, contracting or mixed‑use development
Experience managing complex sites, multi‑block schemes or large‑scale residential projects
Excellent understanding of buildability, sequencing, logistics and technical coordination
Strong leadership skills with the ability to motivate, guide and develop site teams
Deep knowledge of health and safety, CDM regulations and quality standards
Ability to work collaboratively with Commercial, Technical and Pre‑Con teams
A proactive, solutions‑focused mindset with strong decision‑making capability
Someone who thrives in a growing, evolving environment and is motivated by helping shape delivery standards and culture
Experience delivering medium‑ to large‑scale mixed‑use schemes is beneficial but not essential

What's In It For You:

Basic Salary: £100,000-£130,000
Car / Car Allowance
Bonus Structure
25+ Days Holiday + Bank Holidays
Pension & Benefits Package
The chance to join early and influence how major projects are delivered
