Ross Hunter

Strategic and results-driven Head of Projects / Senior Project Manager with 10+ years' experience leading the successful delivery of commercial office, retail, and hospitality projects valued at up to £12M. Recognised for steering multi-disciplinary teams, optimising operational performance, and driving complex build and fit-out programmes from inception to completion. Combining a hands-on technical foundation as a time-served joiner with strong commercial acumen, I excel in ensuring quality, safety, and profitability across every stage of the construction lifecycle.

Adept at building lasting client relationships and leading diverse project teams to consistently exceed expectations in programme delivery, cost management, and stakeholder satisfaction. Currently leading project delivery and bid support functions for a national contractor, I'm now seeking a director's role where I can further contribute to business growth, team development, and operational excellence.
