Shape the future of transport solutions that support national infrastructure
At Babcock, we’re working to create a safe and secure world, together. If you join us, you can play your part as a Transport Development Manager.
The Role
As a Transport Development Manager, you’ll play a pivotal role in delivering complex transport projects that support operational excellence across our UK Land & Aviation business. Reporting into senior leadership, you’ll oversee end-to-end project delivery—ensuring solutions are delivered on time, within budget, and aligned to strategic goals.
This is an exciting opportunity to work across a wide portfolio, collaborating with internal teams, customers, and supply chain partners while developing your expertise in a highly dynamic environment.
Day-to-day, you will be:
- Managing a portfolio of transport projects, ensuring delivery to agreed timelines and cost
- Leading end-to-end project delivery from scoping and design through to implementation and handover
- Collaborating with internal teams, customers, and supply chain partners to deliver effective transport solutions
- Supporting operational teams with subject matter expertise and guidance
- Creating and maintaining project documentation, systems, and training materials.
This is a full-time role working 37 hours per week with flexible working hours Monday to Friday, including an early finish on Fridays. This role is based at RAF Cosford, Shropshire, with flexibility to be based across the UK. Frequent travel to other sites is expected, alongside remote and hybrid working options.
