Head of Construction & Development
SolvTalent has been retained by one of the UK’s fastest-growing, multi-site hospitality businesses to appoint a Head of Construction & Development.
With an ambitious growth strategy, a significant new-site pipeline and continued investment across its existing estate, this is an opportunity to take strategic leadership of a substantial national development programme.
You’ll oversee 60+ projects annually and £20–25m of CapEx, leading an established Project Management team responsible for delivering new openings, refurbishments and wider estate investment.
Importantly, this isn’t a role for someone who wants to personally manage every project.
We’re looking for a leader who can develop the function, empower the team and improve how projects are delivered.
The opportunity
You’ll take responsibility for:
- Leading, coaching and developing an established Project Management team
- Providing strategic oversight across 60+ annual development projects
- Owning CapEx planning, forecasting and commercial performance
- Improving project governance, processes and delivery efficiency
- Developing procurement, contractor and consultant strategies
- Influencing design standards and the evolution of future site concepts
- Working closely with Property, Operations, Finance, Brand and executive leadership
Who are we looking for?
You’ll already be operating in a senior Construction, Development, Projects or Capital Projects position within a multi-site organisation.
Experience within hospitality, retail, leisure or food & beverage would be advantageous, although we're equally interested in candidates from other fast-paced, customer-facing multi-site environments.
More important is your ability to demonstrate:
- Leadership of high-performing project teams
- Delivery of complex, high-volume capital programmes
- Strong commercial and cost-management capability
- Evidence of improving processes and ways of working
- The ability to operate strategically rather than becoming consumed by individual projects
- Credibility with senior and executive stakeholders
This is a highly visible role with the opportunity to shape how an ambitious, growing organisation builds, invests and develops its estate for the future.
