About the Role

The Company is seeking a commercially minded Head of Projects to lead project operations and support the growth of an established project business. Responsibilities include managing overall business performance, including budgets, forecasts, and profit and loss; maintaining client relationships; and identifying opportunities to expand existing accounts and win new work. The role also involves leading tenders and proposals, developing a high-performing team, and overseeing projects from planning through completion to ensure safe, timely, and budget-conscious delivery. The successful candidate will manage costs, contracts, procurement, and supplier relationships while maintaining a strong project pipeline and high standards of client service. Candidates should have senior project leadership experience, such as in a Head of Projects or Project Director role, and a strong commercial background managing budgets, forecasts, and business performance. A track record of winning new business, leading tenders, and developing client relationships is required, along with experience in construction, mechanical and electrical services, facilities management, or critical environments. The role calls for experience leading teams and multiple projects, strong knowledge of project delivery, contracts, procurement, and cost management, and the ability to balance operational leadership with commercial responsibility.
