This is a key client-side role, responsible for taking complex building safety projects through the full project lifecycle - from design and procurement through to construction and completion. You will work closely with consultants, contractors, Principal Designers, Principal Contractors and internal Council teams to ensure projects are delivered safely, on programme, within budget and in line with the requirements of the Building Safety Act 2022 and the Building Safety Regulator.

Coordinate consultants, contractors and specialist advisors throughout delivery. Oversee projects requiring engagement with the Building Safety Regulator, including Gateway submissions and approvals. Ensure appropriate design, construction and change control processes are maintained. Manage Principal Designers, Principal Contractors and wider multidisciplinary project teams. Monitor programme budgets, risks, quality, timescales and contractor performance. Provide clear programme reporting and updates to senior management and governance boards. Work closely with asset management, housing, compliance and finance teams. Drive best practice and continuous improvement across building safety project delivery. About You We are looking for an experienced Project or Programme Manager with a strong track record of delivering complex construction, remediation, fire safety or compliance projects (ideally within occupied residential buildings).
