Job Description Are you ready to take your commercial and project delivery leadership career to the next level by owning project revenues, margin performance and forecasting discipline for one of the UK s most respected names in high security entrance and access control solutions? This is a senior, business critical leadership position within a market leading organisation known for protecting highly sensitive environments across government, critical infrastructure and commercial settings. Sitting at the intersection of sales, delivery, finance and operations, this role exists to ensure that what has been sold commercially is delivered operationally, invoiced on time, and protected from margin erosion through stronger leadership, challenge and control after order intake. That emphasis is far closer to Jon s latest role description than the broader earlier version. Working directly for the Managing Director, you will take ownership of project revenues, gross margin performance and post order delivery control while leading Project Managers and suppliers through a commercially disciplined lens. You will be responsible for improving forecast integrity, tightening change control, driving stronger PM standards and creating clear ownership below MD level, reducing the need for routine escalation and ensuring the business is better positioned to protect EBITDA, margin and delivery performance. This role demands someone who can combine strong construction and project delivery understanding with real commercial ownership, forecasting discipline, leadership authority and the judgement to intervene early when projects drift away from agreed commitments. This is not about finding a super Project Manager. It is about finding someone who can own and drive commercial delivery outcomes through others.

optimism Forecast Integrity, Backlog Conversion & Project Control Take ownership of forecast credibility post order, challenging and validating PM assumptions as site conditions, sequencing and programme realities evolve Hold Project Managers accountable for previously stated forecasts, delivery commitments and commercial assumptions, as well as future projections Drive backlog conversion with clear ownership, ensuring projects move from order intake to invoicing in line with commercial expectations Ensure revenue forecasting is evidence based, challenged where necessary, and actively owned rather than passively reported Intervene directly where commitments are missed, delivery slippage is not being addressed, or risks are not being actively mitigated Chair regular operations meetings with a clear focus on delivery against commitment, margin performance, forecast accuracy and corrective action, not status reporting Project Manager Leadership & Performance Accountability Lead, develop and elevate the operational project delivery function to achieve revenue, margin and performance objectives Set clear expectations around commercial discipline, forecast ownership, escalation thresholds and delivery standards Improve consistency of PM behaviour, accountability and standards across the function Enable Project Managers to get the job done, while holding them
