Our client, a leading global provider of workplace and Real Estate solutions, is seeking a strategic and people-focused Director, Head of Projects, to lead a high-performing project management division. This is a rare opportunity to step into a business-critical leadership role overseeing a diverse portfolio of fast-paced, short-duration commercial construction projects across multiple clients and sectors, including Healthcare, Biotech, Education & Tech.

  • Collaborate cross-functionally with account leaders and sales teams to align delivery with growth targets
  • Step in to support complex or at-risk projects only when necessary

What you\'ll need to succeed

  • 8–12+ years of experience in construction project management, with at least 5 years in a leadership role
  • Proven success managing high-volume, short-duration projects across sectors like healthcare, life sciences or education
  • Deep knowledge of contracts, pricing, risk, and team structure
  • Strong leadership, mentorship, and organizational skills
  • Exceptional relationship-building abilities and a track record of generating work through trust and performance
  • Degree in engineering, architecture, or construction management ; certifications (PMP, CCM) a plus
  • MEP commissioning & HVAC knowledge is highly attractive
  • What you\'ll get in return

  • Up to $225,000 base salary DOE experience plus unmatched bonus program and comprehensive benefits
  • Autonomy and influence in shaping a high-performing division
  • Visibility and impact across a diverse client base and project portfolio
  • A collaborative, forward-thinking culture backed by a global industry leader
  • Ambition matched with an unlimited fast-growth career path
  • What you need to do now
