This role will involve shaping project opportunities, developing client relationships and guiding multidisciplinary teams through the planning, design, delivery and assurance stages. You will contribute to the growth of the rail and transit practice while ensuring that all work is delivered to high professional, safety, quality and environmental standards.
Key responsibilities will include leading the preparation of bids, technical proposals, business cases and delivery strategies; managing project teams, budgets, programmes and client expectations; and providing informed advice on rail infrastructure, stations, transit systems, operations, asset management and relevant interfaces. You will establish effective relationships with clients, contractors, suppliers, regulators and other stakeholders, identifying opportunities to improve project outcomes and support long-term partnerships. The role will also require oversight of risk, governance, technical assurance and compliance with applicable industry standards, legislation and project requirements.

A proven record of leading teams and winning or delivering major programmes is essential, together with excellent communication, negotiation and commercial skills. You will be expected to think strategically while remaining comfortable engaging with detailed technical matters, solving problems and making sound decisions under pressure. A relevant professional qualification or degree is desirable, as is professional registration or membership of an appropriate industry body. The ability to build trust, influence at senior level and promote a collaborative, inclusive culture will be central to success.
