Projects Director

Your new company
You will work for a family-owned business based in Leicestershire. They work across commercial project management and quantity surveying, delivering all types of developments, including infrastructure, roads, industrial units, commercial buildings, schools, supermarkets, local centres, residential apartments and very occasionally, residential housing all across the Midlands.

Your new role
You will work as a Project Director, managing part of the business. You will lead on projects for the company, and they are typically engaged from project or site acquisition, focusing at that stage on due diligence and viability, including whole development cost estimates and development appraisals. The team will guide the pre-construction process and design, produce the development programmes, move the development through planning, continue with cost estimates and financial reporting, write the development specifications, tender, place appointments and contracts and then manage the construction phase delivery, including the project management and the quantity surveying.
You will manage the contractors and other consultants for the clients, as well as completing a client-facing role to ensure the customer is always happy.

What you'll need to succeed
You will be MRICS qualified or equivalent, as well as having experience in a Quantity surveying role. You will be approachable and be able to cover both the management and surveying aspects of construction and development and have a desire to nurture and grow a business and to take it forward. This is due to the Managing Director having a target exit plan of five years. The aim here is to enable you to grow the business and become progressively able to take on the Managing Director role within that time. You will have worked with more real estate projects than civils.

What you'll get in return
You will receive a competitive basic salary of £100000+ as well as a package and benefits tailored to your needs. You will have the opportunity to grow a business and have ownership of a long-standing consultancy that has a great reputation in the market.
