Independent Chair (Board-level role)

The Company is seeking an Independent Chair to play a pivotal role in the establishment of a formal board, driving sustainable growth, and enhancing the company's governance structure. This is a unique opportunity to work closely with the partner-directors to shape the strategic direction and ensure the long-term success of the business, its people, and the communities it serves. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record as a director, with experience in transitioning to a formal governance model, particularly in a privately owned or professional services business. A strong understanding of financial models and the drivers of a consultancy environment is essential, as is the ability to position the business for sustainable growth. The successful candidate will be the first non-executive appointment to the board and must bring independent thought, sound judgment, and a supportive, facilitative style to coach and grow the executive directors. Strong alignment with the company's family-focused, tight-knit culture and its mission to provide a friendly, quality engineering service is also a key requirement. The role is not just about governance; it's about being an integral part of the company's journey and ensuring that its values and commitment to the community are upheld. If you are a seasoned professional with the right experience and a passion for making a difference, this role offers a chance to be at the forefront of a significant and rewarding transformation.
