Construction Director – RC Frames & Groundwork £140,000 - £180,000 Benefits London & Home Counties About the Company: This business is without doubt one of the best in this sector. They specialise in taking projects from enabling works through to the completion of the frame. With focused teams handling remediation, demolition, groundwork, and concrete frame packages, they are well-equipped to handle packages ranging from £10 million to £50 million (or above) each. Their client base includes top-tier developers, main contractors, and direct users, and their sectors of work include residential, commercial, energy, infrastructure, and industrial. They have offices in and around London, with a large proportion of their workload inside the M25. On a personal note, I work very closely with this business not only because of their size and capability but also because of their vision, goals, and attitude towards what they do and how they do it. From the owners to the site staff, there is a focus on standing out as one of the best at what they do. Their constant reinvestment to boost innovation, improvement, and success has helped them reach their current standings and I can see them climbing even further in the years to come. As a recruiter, a big thing for me is the feedback I receive from the people I place with businesses, and once again this business excels, with glowing comments coming back from all levels, mentioning excitement around what they are accomplishing, combined with positivity around how their team work together. This is a fantastic business to consider career opportunities with, no matter how you look at it. About the Opportunity: I am looking for someone who is either already a Construction Director / Operations Director that has a strong background working for rival RC frame and groundwork subcontractors in the UK, or someone who has hit a glass ceiling where they are and is in search of that next step up to Construction Director level because they are ready for it (again must be from a rival contractor though in a Senior Contracts Manager or similar position). If you’ve worked in this sector at either of those levels, you’ll know what is involved in the day-to-day duties; your position will sit alongside the people at the top of the business and will effectively report to the existing board members while overseeing operations across multiple live sites where concrete frames, groundwork, and basements packages are being completed (package values range from £5m up to £50m each and you’ll be responsible for a portfolio of £100m-£150m worth of work). You’ll be expected to oversee and develop the site-based management and teams, while integrating with the various clients of the business to make sure projects are carried out in the best manner possible. And yes, while programme deadlines, budgets and safety on every site is crucial to any successful contractor in this field, you’ll also be one of the senior members of the team whose responsibility it is to develop client relationships and to make sure everything keeps moving in the right direction (and making improvements along the way too). I should highlight though; you won’t be doing all of this alone. The team at this business is exceptional and they work together. About the Requirements: To be successful I am looking for individuals who have worked in this position or who are ready for this position that have a strong background working for concrete frame, groundwork, and basement subcontractors in the UK. It has also been specified that I am only to consider people who have held stable periods of time with each employer as this position is important and my client only wants to consider people who are in it for the long run. I would expect that individuals will either be degree qualified in civil engineering or construction management. About the Rewards: This is a director level role, where you will have ownership of your own department and a seat at the table to help influence the future of this business, so obviously the package will fit the level of responsibility. So, I’m open to considering what people are currently on versus what they are looking for salary and benefits wise. So, in short, if you are successful in getting this opportunity you’ll be paid well with benefits at every level down the road. All fantastic opportunities should offer fantastic rewards and this one will not disappoint. How to Apply: I am more than happy to discuss this opportunity with people over the phone or face-to-face in a fully confidential manner. This is an incestuous sector and I fully understand the importance of keeping things discrete. It would be ideal to see a copy of your CV to understand your previous experience and employment. In line with GDPR, nothing will be done with your CV/details until we have discussed the role in detail, but having gained an understanding of your formal past, this may help when we come to talk and discuss the option.
