Few programmes in UK construction carry as much weight as high-rise remediation. Every building made safe means residents who can sleep easier and leaseholders who can finally get on with their lives.
This well-established national main contractor has built a significant and growing remediation division, with a strong forward pipeline and activity concentrated in London and several major regional cities. It's genuinely committed to leading the building safety agenda, and it now wants a National Re-Cladding Director to lead the division at board level.
The Role
This is a strategic, board-level position rather than an operational delivery role. Reporting to the Main Board, you'll be the most senior figure in the remediation division, with full strategic and operational accountability for its higher-risk building portfolio.
Pre-construction, design, commercial and delivery functions all sit under you, and your job is to make sure they're aligned, high-performing and set up to win and deliver work to the highest standard. Externally, you'll be the division's figurehead with clients, regulators and the wider industry.
What you'll be doing
- Setting and executing the national remediation strategy in line with the business's wider board objectives.
- Leading and developing the pre-construction, design, commercial and delivery functions across all live and pipeline HRB remediation schemes.
- Driving commercial performance and risk governance across a high-value national portfolio.
- Building trusted relationships with clients, Responsible Persons, Accountable Persons, funders and regulators.
- Ensuring full compliance with the Building Safety Act 2022, the Gateway process, PAS 9980 and the higher-risk buildings regime.
- Overseeing engagement with the Building Safety Regulator and embedding robust principal contractor responsibilities across the portfolio.
- Managing the business's involvement with the Building Safety Fund and Cladding Safety Scheme, including funding compliance and reporting.
- Representing the business externally and growing the division's pipeline and reputation.
What we're looking for
- A proven senior leader from a main contracting background.
- A strong track record in façade and cladding remediation on high-rise and higher-risk buildings.
- Deep, practical knowledge of PAS 9980, EWS1, fire risk appraisals and the regulatory framework governing HRB remediation.
- A thorough understanding of non-compliant cladding systems, including ACM and HPL, and the remediation strategies that go with them.
- Familiarity with the Building Safety Fund and Cladding Safety Scheme.
- The executive presence and credibility to operate at Main Board level, represent the business externally and bring out the best in a senior, experienced team.
What's on offer
- Basic Salary
- Performance-related bonus
- Pension and a comprehensive benefits package
- Flexible working, with national travel
- A board-level seat on one of the most purposeful programmes in UK construction
