As a Capital Projects Manager, you will lead the delivery of a varied portfolio of capital projects from concept through to completion. Projects may include:

• Clinical refurbishments and service improvements
• New healthcare facilities and infrastructure schemes
• Sustainability and environmental improvements
• Strategic redevelopment initiatives across hospital sites

About You

We're looking for someone who is:

• An experienced project manager with a track record of delivering capital, construction, estates or infrastructure projects
• Organised, proactive and solution focused
• Comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
• Skilled in building strong relationships with a wide range of stakeholders
• Confident analysing information, solving problems and making informed decisions
• Passionate about delivering high-quality outcomes that improve services and environments for patients and staff

The Capital Projects Manager is responsible for the management and delivery of allocated capital redevelopment projects and work streams within the Trust's Redevelopment Programme. The post holder will lead the planning, development, procurement, implementation and monitoring of complex construction and infrastructure projects, ensuring delivery to agreed scope, quality, financial and programme objectives. Working under the direction of the Construction Project Director, the post holder will apply specialist project management expertise to manage multiple projects simultaneously through all stages of the project lifecycle, from feasibility and business case development through design, procurement, construction, commissioning and project close-down.

The post holder will provide specialist advice to clinical, operational and corporate stakeholders and will ensure that project decisions support service requirements while maintaining compliance with quality, safety and governance standards.

The Capital Projects Manager may supervise junior project staff, apprentices, consultants and contractors and will act as a professional role model, promoting the Trust's values and supporting the delivery of a safe, efficient and patient-focused built environment.
