Project Director
A respected construction consultancy with offices across London and the South East is seeking a Project Director to join their growing team, working across residential and education-led developments. With a strong presence in both Sevenoaks and Central London, the business is expanding its senior team and is now looking for a Project Director who has a proven ability to lead large-scale developments while also growing and mentoring a successful delivery team.
This role is ideally suited to a Project Director who thrives in a client-facing environment and has extensive experience delivering new build and refurbishment projects, particularly in the public and private residential sectors.
