- Coordinate multidisciplinary inputs across planning, environment, engineering, land, legal, and stakeholder engagement.
- Manage the preparation and delivery of high-quality, compliant, and audit-ready DCO documentation.
- Support preparations for DCO examinations and hearings, including written responses and engagement with examining authorities and regulators.
- Lead the discharge of DCO requirements, planning conditions, and other pre-construction approvals.
- Work with rail design and construction teams to embed consent obligations into project delivery.
- Support commercial, resourcing, and programme-planning decisions.
- Guide and mentor Project Managers, Assistant Project Managers, and project coordinators.
- Contribute to project management improvements and best practice across the wider consents team.
