Job Description:

An exceptional opportunity has arisen for an experienced Project Director to lead the delivery of a landmark mixed-use development in London on behalf of a highly regarded residential developer.
This is a rare chance to join a project at a pivotal stage, with approximately 18 months of pre-construction before the main build commences. The successful candidate will take full ownership of the development, leading the project from planning and design through to construction and final delivery.
This is a true project leadership role, requiring oversight of every discipline rather than a purely construction-focused approach.

• Landmark mixed-use scheme comprising approximately 350-400 residential units
• Three-phase development
• Construction over an existing basement structure
• High-quality private residential homes with resident amenities
• Commercial space including retail and office accommodation
• Long-term estate ownership, placing significant emphasis on quality, coordination and operational excellence

As Project Director, you will be responsible for the overall success of the development, providing strategic leadership throughout the project lifecycle.
Key responsibilities include:

• Taking full ownership of the project from pre-construction through to completion
• Leading design, planning, technical, commercial and construction teams
• Managing Gateway approvals and statutory processes
• Coordinating consultants, contractors and internal stakeholders
• Driving programme delivery throughout the extensive pre-construction phase
• Ensuring the project is fully coordinated before construction commences
• Overseeing the successful delivery of the residential, commercial and amenity elements
• Working closely with operational and estate management teams to ensure a high-quality long-term asset

To be considered, you will have:

• A proven track record delivering large-scale residential or mixed-use developments
• Extensive pre-construction and design management experience
• The ability to lead complex projects from inception through delivery
• Strong commercial awareness with the ability to balance programme, cost and quality
• Experience managing multidisciplinary teams and external consultants
• Previous responsibility for schemes of 350+ residential units or similarly complex developments

This is an outstanding opportunity to lead one of London's most significant residential-led developments for a well-established developer with an excellent reputation for delivering high-quality projects.
