With an established client base, a strong pipeline of secured work and continued investment across the region, you'll play a key role in shaping both project delivery and the future growth of the business.


Unlike many senior roles, you'll remain close to delivery, leading high-profile commissions while developing client relationships, mentoring teams and driving regional growth.


About the Business

This independent consultancy is recognised for delivering high-quality commercial, project management and advisory services across major capital programmes. Their reputation has been built on technical excellence, collaborative working and long-term client partnerships within highly regulated sectors.

Their portfolio spans:

  • Nuclear
  • Energy
  • Utilities
  • Infrastructure
  • Process & Industrial
  • Major Capital Programmes
  • Civil Engineering


The Role

As Director, you'll take ownership of major commissions while helping shape the strategic direction of the North West business.

  • Ensure high standards of governance, risk management and project delivery
  • Contribute to business planning and long-term strategic growth


About You

You'll be an established commercial leader with consultancy experience across infrastructure, energy or other major capital projects.

You'll ideally have:

  • Significant Quantity Surveying and commercial management experience
  • Experience operating at Associate Director or Director level
  • Strong client relationship and business development skills
  • A background within infrastructure, utilities, energy, nuclear, industrial or process sectors
  • Excellent NEC3/NEC4 contract knowledge
  • MRICS (preferred)
  • Experience leading and developing high-performing teams
  • A collaborative leadership style with strong commercial awareness


Why Join?

This is an opportunity to join a business where Directors genuinely influence projects, clients and the future direction of the company.

You'll benefit from:

  • A genuine leadership role within a growing North West business
  • Director-led delivery across nationally significant infrastructure and energy programmes
  • Long-term client relationships and secured project pipeline
  • The opportunity to shape regional growth and strategy
  • A collaborative, entrepreneurial culture with minimal bureaucracy
