We're working with a well-established local authority to find a Delivery Manager to lead the delivery of Major Projects and Active Travel investment across their highway network.
This is a senior leadership contract role with real influence shaping how a multi-million-pound capital programme gets delivered, not just administering it.
What you'll be doing:
- Leading delivery of major civil engineering and active travel schemes, so you'll see projects through from commission to completion, not just one phase.
- Managing procurement routes and NEC contracts as Project/Service Manager, so you'll have genuine commercial control over supply chain performance.
- Leading and developing a team of Delivery Officers, so you'll be building capability, not just hitting targets.
- Acting as Principal Designer under CDM 2015, so you'll carry real accountability for safety across every scheme.
- Engaging directly with Senior Managers and Elected Members, so you'll have visibility and influence at the top of the organisation.
