About the Role

A unique opportunity for a seasoned Project Management professional to step into a Director-level role with a leading UK construction consultancy, based in their Birmingham office. The current team delivers complex, high-value projects across industrial, defence, manufacturing, and local authority sectors—and we’re now looking to appoint a senior leader who can both compliment and strengthen this offer.

About the Role

This is a leadership position, suited to someone with a proven consultancy background and deep regional connections across the Midlands. You’ll play a pivotal role in shaping the strategic direction of the Birmingham office, developing client relationships, mentoring future leaders, and delivering excellence across a range of major programmes.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Leading and growing a high-performing Project Management team
  • Strengthening client relationships and generating new business opportunities
  • Acting as a senior interface on major programmes across the industrial, manufacturing, and defence sectors
  • Supporting the growth of key accounts across the Midlands region
  • Playing an active role in business planning, team development, and strategic growth

What We're Looking For

We’re seeking someone who is:

  • Currently operating at Associate or Director level within a reputable UK Property & Construction consultancy
  • Well-connected across the Midlands, with a strong local network and reputation
  • Commercially astute, client-focused, and confident in leading large, complex commissions
  • Able to operate at board level and contribute to regional and national growth
  • A natural mentor and leader, able to inspire and develop others
  • Chartered status (RICS, MAPM or similar) is desirable but not essential.

Why Apply?

This is an exciting time to join. The organisation is growing, the pipeline is strong, and the Birmingham office is seen as a key strategic location for national and regional growth. You'll be joining a collaborative, forward-thinking team with opportunities to advance your career, increase your influence, and enhance your earnings through a highly competitive package and performance-based incentives.
