Major Programmes Strategy & Growth Director

This is a senior-facing, strategic role, focused on driving client value and expanding our client’s involvement across some of the UK’s most complex and nationally significant infrastructure programmes.

You’ll work alongside delivery and programme leaders to identify opportunities, strengthen relationships, and shape long-term partnerships with clients in energy, defence, transport, and water.

• Lead strategic growth initiatives across major programmes, securing new opportunities and supporting long-term client relationships.
• Represent the Major Programmes team externally, acting as a trusted advisor and thought leader.
• Work closely with programme and project directors to align delivery and growth strategies.
• Contribute directly to live projects (around 20–30% utilisation), maintaining senior client visibility and engagement.
• Develop proposals and value propositions in areas such as planning, environment, modular construction, and digital delivery.

Importantly, this is not a pure business development role, we’re seeking someone with proven major programme experience who understands delivery environments and the types of client challenges faced across large-scale infrastructure projects of national significance.

• Collaborative, confident, and commercially astute, with the ability to influence at C-suite level.
• Proven experience working in major programmes or complex infrastructure environments (e.g. energy, transport, defence, water).
• Strong track record of client engagement and strategic growth, ideally in a consulting or engineering setting.
