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.

*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
*Manage relationships with subcontractors, consultants, local authorities and client-side stakeholders
*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
