Project Lead

Job Description
Are you a Project Lead who's been running 15m - 30m+ sites?
The Company
Think Tier 1 build quality without the Tier 1 nonsense. All the tools, none of the tape.
This contractor is backed by a well-funded parent company (the type that pays on time and doesn't do jazz hands every time someone says "procurement"). They've got all the toys in-house: demo, piling, superstructure, joinery, haulage - and actually finish jobs. Properly. Not "let's get practical completion and run"
What you'll need to bring:
Tier 1 experience - if you've made it through a pre-start meeting with 14 consultants and lived to tell the tale, that counts
Either already a Project Lead, or a Project Manager who's basically running the show but still being patted on the head
Stuck around long enough to see a job finished - not someone who updates their CV every time the kettle breaks.
Have proper construction knowledge - not just fluent in buzzwords like "value engineering" and "project synergies"
Can read a programme, challenge it, fix it, and not have a meltdown when the brickies disappear for two weeks
What you'll be doing
Running 300m jobs like they're yours (because they are) from breaking ground to cutting ribbons
Taking responsibility without needing a committee to back you up
Getting stuff built properly, safely, and on time - while fending off 800 "urgent" emails about what shade of grey the cladding is
Leading from the front - boots on, not just boots in the back of the car
What you won't be doing
Filling in ten forms to order a skip
Sitting in meetings where someone says "let's park that for now" and then drives off forever.
Explaining what a soffit is to a senior stakeholder named Clive who once built a treehouse in 1989
This role could also be referred to as a Project Manager, Senior Project Manager, Senior Construction Manager, Construction Manager, Project Director or Project Lead
I know this ad's had a bit of fun, but let's be clear-I'm a serious recruiter working with a serious contractor, and this is a seriously good opportunity. If you've got the experience and the grit to handle projects that matter, I want to hear from you.
