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.

Job description

The postholder will also provide leadership for the effective management of programme and project information, ensuring that design, cost, programme, risk, commercial and assurance data is accurate, controlled and suitable for governance, reporting and decision-making purposes. Working closely with programme information management and digital teams, the postholder will support the effective use of digital systems and the Client Common Data Environment (CCDE) to maintain robust project controls and assurance processes.
