The Opportunity

An established commercial landscaping contractor is creating a dedicated Northern operation and is looking for a Regional Director North to build and lead it.

This is a rare opportunity to shape a region from the beginning, develop the market, win profitable work and build the team and supply chain needed to support long-term growth.

The territory starts at Worcestershire, includes Birmingham and continues northwards. The business already has secured work in Birmingham city centre, providing a strong starting point for further growth across the region.

The role will be home based, with the successful person ideally located north of Birmingham to make travel across the region practical.

The initial objective is to grow the Northern operation to approximately £5 million turnover within three years.

As the Northern Regional Director you will:

• Create and deliver the growth plan for the Northern region across commercial landscaping, civils and associated external works.
• Develop relationships with main contractors, developers, consultants and other regional decision-makers.
• Identify, qualify and convert suitable opportunities into profitable secured work.
• Take full responsibility for the regional P&L, pipeline, forecasting, margin and commercial performance.
• Work with the wider Head Office estimating, tendering and administrative teams during the initial growth stage.
• Build a reliable Northern network of subcontractors, suppliers and specialist partners.
• Provide senior commercial and operational oversight from enquiry and tender through to mobilisation and delivery.
• Build the future regional team as workload develops and help shape the location and structure of a Northern office.

To be considered as the Northern Regional Director you will need:

• Senior leadership experience within commercial landscaping, civils, external works or a closely related construction environment.
• Strong commercial landscaping knowledge together with credible civils experience. Greater relevant civils depth would be an advantage.
• A demonstrable record of developing client relationships and winning profitable work.
• Direct P&L responsibility, including forecasting, budgeting and commercial decision-making.
• Good understanding of estimating, tendering, pricing, contracts and project delivery.
• A relevant network across the Midlands and North.
• Experience building or expanding a region, division, office, team or business unit.
• A practical and entrepreneurial approach, with the confidence to operate autonomously whilst working closely with an established Head Office.

On Offer:

• Competitive salary, negotiable based on experience.
• Company car or car allowance
• Bonus and profit-share arrangements

This role offers:

• The opportunity to create and lead a new regional business rather than inherit a fixed structure.
• Direct access to the Managing Director and genuine influence over regional strategy, investment and team development.
• The backing of an established contractor with central estimating, tendering and administrative support.
• The chance to shape the future Northern office, supply chain, team and route to market.
