Lead Director – Public sector

Overview

Director – Building Surveying (Public Sector)

Build a Public Sector Division. Own It. Lead It.

Location: UK (national platform, North base)

Package: Six-figure base + 20% bonus

The Opportunity

I've been referred by a long-standing industry contact to represent a well-established national building consultancy that’s ready to seriously enter the public sector market – but they want the right person to lead it. You’ll be joining a business with:

  • 6 offices across the UK
  • A strong, profitable private-sector platform
  • 20+ Building Surveyors already in the business
  • Full back-office, brand, and operational support

What’s missing is public sector leadership – and that’s the gap you’ll fill.

The Role

This is a chance to build your own public sector business within an established firm.

You will:

  • Take full ownership of public sector strategy and delivery
  • Bring your existing public sector clients, frameworks, or relationships
  • Design and implement your own processes, systems, and ways of working
  • Be the face of the business in the public sector
  • Build and scale a team around you as workload grows

No micromanagement. No legacy systems you’re forced to follow. You’ll be trusted to run this like it’s your own business, with the backing of a national consultancy.

Who This Suits

  • Chartered Building Surveyor (MRICS or equivalent)
  • Currently at Director / Associate Director level
  • Strong background in public sector work (PFI, education, healthcare, local authority, NHS, frameworks)
  • Proven ability to win work and carry client relationships
  • Entrepreneurial, commercially minded, and comfortable with responsibility

If you’ve ever thought "I could build this better myself" – this role is probably for you.

Package

  • Six-figure base salary
  • 20% bonus on salary
  • Clear long-term opportunity to grow something meaningful inside a supportive platform
  • Equity pathways
