Head of Projects - M&E, Healthcare
About the Role

With a £15 million annual project pipeline, you will oversee the delivery of complex M&E-driven projects, infrastructure upgrades, backlog maintenance, and refurbishment programmes within a live clinical environment.
This is a role for a leader who is as comfortable in the plant room and on the wards as they are in the boardroom. You'll combine commercial sharpness and P&L experience with operational visibility, ensuring your team of three Project Managers is supported, aligned, and delivering excellence across multiple hospital sites.
Clear, proactive communication will be absolutely critical-engaging with estates teams, ward managers, and clinical leads to ensure works are coordinated safely, sensitively, and with minimal disruption to patient care.

Act as a key communication bridge between project delivery teams and hospital stakeholders, ensuring regular, clear, and proactive updates.
Oversee programme management, risk control, CDM compliance, and contractor performance.
About You
Strong track record leading M&E or technical project delivery teams-ideally within healthcare or other live, safety-critical environments.
Exceptional communication and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to navigate clinical settings respectfully and effectively.
Commercially minded, experienced in managing a P&L and driving business growth.
Hands-on leadership style-comfortable balancing strategic oversight with on-the-ground involvement.
