Project Director - Sporting Venue / Stad
We are seeking a high-calibre Project Director to spearhead a landmark stadium development project. You will play a pivotal role from the earliest stages, leading the Pre-Construction Services Agreement (PCSA) phase to ensure robust planning, commercial viability, and design finalisation. Beyond pre-construction, you will provide strategic oversight to the operational delivery team, ensuring a seamless transition into construction and driving the project to a successful, high-quality completion.
Therefore, experience with this type of project is critical, where our client would be looking to engage the suitable person on a long-term freelance / contract basis for circa 2 years+.
Key Responsibilities
- PCSA Leadership: Drive the pre-construction phase, managing design development, value engineering, risk mitigation, and procurement strategies.
- Client & Stakeholder Management: Act as the primary point of contact for the client, build control, and key stakeholders to maintain alignment and trust.
- Operational Oversight: Provide high-level direction and mentorship to the onsite delivery teams, ensuring safety, quality, and progress mirror the project plan.
- Commercial & Financial Governance: Oversee budget management, cost forecasting, and contract negotiations to protect project margins.
- Programme Management: Ensure the overarching master programme is realistic, robust, and rigorously maintained by the delivery team.
Required Experience & Skills
- Major Projects Track Record: Have proven recent experience delivering major sports venues / stadia projects from inception through to handover.
- PCSA Expertise: Deep understanding of pre-construction processes, two-stage tendering, and managing complex design interfaces.
- Leadership Excellence: Strong ability to manage, inspire, and hold operational delivery teams accountable.
- Commercial Acumen: Thorough knowledge of major construction contracts (e.g., NEC4, JCT) and commercial risk management.
Therefore, if you feel you fit the afore mentioned criteria I would be pleased to hear from you, if you can reply with an up to date CV containing you contact detail and I will be in touch to discuss the role in greater detail.
I have worked with Brown and Wills for over 10 years and have found their skills and expertise to be second to none. Their personable approach, attention to detail, thorough understanding of the construction industry and relationships they hold has contributed to finding and attracting some of the best individuals in the industry, some of which are now work colleagues within Morgan Sindall.
