Role description
Are you an experienced project management professional looking to help deliver major Rail infrastructure projects?
We are seeking talented Assistant Project Managers, Project Managers and Senior Project Managers to join our growing rail team. Working across a diverse portfolio of current and upcoming rail infrastructure and asset protection projects you will support or lead the safe and successful development and delivery of rail infrastructure and externally funded schemes.

This is an opportunity to contribute to challenging rail programmes and projects, working alongside multidisciplinary teams to deliver safe, responsible and sustainable outcomes.
Whether you are building your career as an Assistant Project Manager or already leading complex programmes at Senior Project Manager level, we will match the opportunity and level of responsibility to your skills and experience.
Role accountabilities
Depending on your experience, you will support or lead multidisciplinary teams delivering projects across the operational railway. Your responsibilities may include:
- Managing project scope, delivery plans, milestones, dependencies and project controls
- Supporting or leading rail infrastructure, asset protection and third-party schemes
- Coordinating interfaces between clients, contractors, operators, asset owners and technical disciplines
- Managing project risks, issues, change, governance and assurance requirements
- Monitoring programme, cost, quality, safety and overall project performance
- Working within rail project lifecycles and governance processes, including PACE or equivalent
- Supporting commercial management, contract administration, procurement and budget control
- Communicating clear project updates, recommendations and decisions to stakeholders
- Leading project teams and mentoring colleagues at the more senior levels
