Summary
This post forms an essential component of the Capital Project Team delivering UHL’s complex £multi-million Capital Programme consisting of New Build and Refurbishment projects, delivering priority projects linked to Trust strategy and addressing estates capital backlog including statutory compliance.
The postholder will contribute to management of a team of project managers supported by clinical colleagues and teams of in-house and externally appointed specialist advisors, design teams and construction partners.
We are looking for applicants ideally from an architectural, surveying, construction, engineering, building or project management background with a proven track record in the Estates field delivering:
• construction and civil engineering projects
• mechanical and electrical infrastructure projects
The successful applicant will be an experienced professional, highly motivated with excellent communication skills, strong leadership and project management experience.
Successful delivery of UHL Capital projects within agreed time, cost and quality parameters, continually monitoring and ensuring accurate reporting against financial and programme management.
As a senior leader in the Capital Projects Team, the post holder will also be asked to share directorate-wide responsibilities and lead workstreams relating to other aspects of the Reconfiguration and Capital Programme.
Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).
We have four primary goals:
• high-quality care for all,
• being a great place to work,
• partnerships for impact, and
• research and education excellence
And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.
Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:
• we are compassionate,
• we are proud,
• we are inclusive, and
• we are one team
This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
