Senior Project Manager - NWUHG New Hospital Programme

£29.9 - £34.8 per hourEstimated
Full-time
Job summary

We are seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager within Design & Construction to lead the planning, management and delivery of major enabling, infrastructure, design and construction activities associated with the redevelopment of Queen Elizabeth Hospital King's Lynn and the James Paget Hospital Great Yarmouth as part of the Norfolk and Waveney University Hospitals Group New Hospital Programme.


The New Hospital Programme represents a transformational investment in healthcare infrastructure across Norfolk and Waveney, delivering new hospital facilities that will support the future delivery of safe, sustainable and modern healthcare services. Whilst this role will primarily support one site scheme, the postholder will work as part of the wider programme team, contributing to the successful delivery of programme objectives and supporting the development of consistent approaches, standards and ways of working across the wider programme

Main duties of the job

The postholder will lead complex construction and pre-construction workstreams throughout the project lifecycle, ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently and in accordance with approved scope, budget, quality and programme requirements. Working closely with consultants, contractors, clinical and operational stakeholders, Estates and Facilities teams and New Hospital Programme partners, the role will support the successful progression of projects from concept and design through construction, commissioning and handover.


The role includes direct line management responsibility for an Assistant Project Manager and requires the leadership and coordination of multidisciplinary teams, consultants and contractors across assigned projects and workstreams. The postholder will provide professional guidance, oversight and support to ensure projects are delivered in accordance with agreed objectives and programme requirements.


Operating within a highly regulated environment, the postholder will apply specialist knowledge of project delivery, construction management, commercial processes, risk management and governance arrangements. The role requires the exercise of significant professional judgement and autonomy when managing complex projects, resolving issues and making recommendations that support delivery of the programme.

About us

At QEH and JPUH, we are committed to creating inclusive workplaces where diversity is valued, and everyone can contribute and succeed. Applications are welcomed from people of all backgrounds and communities.

Job description
