Associate Director | Project Management | London, UK
We have an exceptional opportunity for an accomplished Associate Director to join TSA Riley’s Project Management team in London.
This is a high-profile, fast-paced, client-facing role supporting a respected healthcare client, with responsibility for leading the management and delivery of a significant programme of works across the southern region.
To succeed in this position, you will bring outstanding stakeholder management capability, strong technical expertise across project and programme management, and well-developed commercial acumen. This is a broad and influential role, encompassing a full range of pre- and post-contract responsibilities on behalf of the client, while ensuring effective coordination across the wider delivery team.
We are seeking an experienced project professional with excellent stakeholder management skills and a proven track record of delivering large, complex programmes of work, including projects spanning multiple regions and progressing through different stages of the project lifecycle.
You will become an integral part of our Project Management team, taking a leading role in supporting a valued and dynamic client account.
At TSA Riley, people are at the heart of everything we do. We provide our team members with the training, resources, and collaborative environment they need to thrive, develop their careers, and make a meaningful impact.
How you'll contribute:
Associate Directors take overall responsibility for the leadership and successful delivery of large or complex projects. They manage end-to-end scope, programme, cost, risk, and safety while building trusted relationships with clients, consultants, and delivery partners.
Beyond project delivery, they contribute to the commercial and operational performance of TSA Riley through team leadership, planning, and pursuit activity.
Our Associate Directors bring deep project expertise, commercial acumen, and a structured, forward-thinking approach to leading complex delivery. They're trusted delivery leads with broad sector experience, known for their judgement, clarity, and ability to align project outcomes with both client priorities and TSA Riley's commercial goals.
Associate Directors bring the experience and credibility to lead with impact, including:
TSA Riley has a 130-year heritage dating back to 1890 when Henry Riley Esq first established a quantity surveying practice in London. In Asia Pacific we trace our roots back to the 1980s through the merging of several respected, small project management and advisory firms.
Now, in the 21st century, we're defining and pioneering a new way of helping our clients drive greater value and impact from their built assets.
Plan. Deliver. Optimise. We call this project consulting.
We provide expert strategic, commercial and operations advice; project and cost management; carbon advice; and dispute resolution. This uniquely broad range of services - across the project lifecycle - means we understand the interdependencies at every stage. We combine this with hands-on experience and personalised service to drive greater value, impact and certainty for our clients' projects.
Our Values:
We welcome applications from candidates who are interested in working with us but are not able to commit to a full-time role and/or would require forms of flexible working.
Additionally, we provide hybrid working as standard practice. We would like you to perform at your best at every stage of our recruitment process. Please contact us if you require any adjustments that would support you throughout your application.
