Discover your exciting role

As Senior Director Project Construction Management, you will provide senior functional leadership for Project Management and Construction Management across Continental and Northern Europe. In this role, you will strengthen the standards, governance, capabilities, and execution practices required for safe, predictable, and consistent project delivery across countries, business units, and project portfolios.

A key part of the role will be to ensure that the PMCM organization is set up to support current and future project demand. Working closely with Operations, HR, Talent Acquisition, and project leadership teams, you will contribute to workforce planning, resource forecasting, capability development, and the effective deployment of PMCM expertise across the regional project portfolio.

While project delivery ownership sits within Operations, this role defines and strengthens the PMCM framework required to improve project predictability, execution discipline, risk management, safety performance, and overall delivery reliability. The position is suited for a senior project and construction management leader who combines strong EPC/EPCM delivery experience with governance capability, organizational leadership, and the ability to influence effectively in an international matrix organization.
