You will work closely with our central defence team, Pre-Construction, and Business Development colleagues to ensure opportunities are shaped, positioned, and progressed effectively. This is a genuinely exciting opportunity to join at the ground floor of a strategic growth push, with the autonomy to shape your own approach and real influence over the direction of our regional healthcare business. NB. This role is regionally based covering the South of England, Central England and surrounding areas region. Due to the nature of the role, regular travel across the region, and occasional national travel will be required. Candidates are expected to be office-based at least once per week, with most of the time spent with clients and stakeholders. Key Responsibilities: Build and maintain senior-level relationships with MOD, DIO and key defence consultants to generate and sustain a strong pipeline of regional opportunities. Lead early-stage business development activity, identifying, shaping, and pre-positioning on healthcare opportunities including feasibilities, negotiated routes, and competitive bids. Support delivery of the Willmott Dixon national defence strategy at a regional level, providing market intelligence and insight to inform pipeline planning and investment decisions. Provide technical defence input to proposal and pre-construction teams, improving bid quality, consistency, and overall win rates, including input on defence planning, operational continuity, and compliance. Represent Willmott Dixon externally at industry events, conferences, defence working groups, and networking forums to enhance the company's visibility, reputation, and influence in the defence sector. Collaborate with senior executives, Business Development, Marketing, and Operations colleagues to ensure defence opportunities align with regional priorities and company capabilities.

Desirable Skills & Experience: MOD or direct defence operational or management experience. Knowledge of defence technical requirements and security clearance procedures, and operational continuity in live MOD environments.

Experience of bid and capture planning in a complex public sector procurement environment. Degree-level education or equivalent professional experience in a defence or related field. About Us With over 170 years of rich history, Willmott Dixon's purpose is beyond profit; delivering brilliant buildings, transforming lives, strengthening communities and enhancing the environment so our world is fit for future generations.

About Us Founded in 1843, Marlborough College is one of the UK's leading independent boarding schools, educating more than 1,000 pupils across a remarkable 250-acre estate in the heart of Wiltshire. Combining academic excellence with outstanding pastoral care, the College is home to a diverse portfolio of buildings and facilities, including 16 boarding houses, academic departments, sports venues and a unique collection of Grade I and Grade II listed heritage assets. The estate plays a central role in the experience we provide to pupils, staff and the wider College community. Over the last decade, Marlborough has invested approximately £90 million in maintaining, modernising and enhancing its built environment. With a further £90 million programme planned over the next ten years, this is an exciting opportunity to join the College at a pivotal stage in its development and help shape the future of one of the most significant educational estates in the country. About the Role Reporting directly to the Bursar (COO), the Head of Capital Projects will lead the delivery of Marlborough College's ambitious 10-Year Refurbishment Plan, taking responsibility for a diverse programme of capital investment encompassing heritage conservation, boarding house modernisation, academic facilities, infrastructure renewal, sustainability initiatives and new developments. Acting as the College's client-side development lead, you will oversee projects from initial concept and feasibility through to completion and post-occupancy evaluation, ensuring programmes are delivered safely, on time and within budget. Managing multiple concurrent schemes across a live and operational campus, you will work closely with consultants, contractors and internal stakeholders to deliver projects that enhance both the physical estate and the educational experience. This is a highly visible leadership position requiring regular engagement with the Senior Management Team, Finance Committee, Estates Committee and College Council. Alongside project delivery, you will play a key role in long-term estate planning, business case development, financial forecasting, governance, risk management and sustainability strategy.

Experience of working with listed buildings, conservation constraints and heritage-sensitive projects will be particularly valuable, as will the ability to balance strategic planning with practical project delivery. You will be a confident communicator who can build credibility with senior leaders, professional advisers, contractors and end users alike. Equally comfortable presenting investment proposals to governance committees as you are walking a live construction site, you will combine sound judgement, attention to detail and a collaborative leadership style with a passion for delivering exceptional environments that support long-term organisational success. This is a rare opportunity to lead a major capital programme within an institution of national standing, helping preserve its heritage while delivering the facilities and infrastructure that will support future generations of pupils and staff.
