We are seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead the successful delivery of rail infrastructure and improvement projects from initial planning through to completion. This role will involve managing projects across the full lifecycle, ensuring that work is delivered safely, on time, within budget and to the required quality standards. You will work closely with clients, contractors, consultants, suppliers and internal stakeholders to coordinate activity and maintain strong working relationships throughout each project.
Key responsibilities will include developing and maintaining project programmes, budgets, risk registers and delivery plans; monitoring progress against agreed milestones; and implementing effective change-control processes. You will coordinate design, procurement, construction, testing and commissioning activities, ensuring that interfaces between disciplines and delivery partners are properly managed. The role will also require you to identify and resolve issues promptly, provide clear progress reports, chair project meetings and maintain accurate project records. A strong focus on health, safety, environmental compliance and quality will be essential, with responsibility for ensuring that appropriate governance and assurance processes are followed.
Applicants should have proven experience managing rail, transport or complex infrastructure projects, ideally within a regulated delivery environment. You will need a sound understanding of project management principles, commercial management, risk management, contract administration and applicable rail industry standards. Excellent communication, negotiation and stakeholder-management skills are essential, together with the ability to lead multidisciplinary teams and make informed decisions under pressure. A recognised project management qualification, such as APM, PRINCE2 or equivalent, would be advantageous. The successful candidate will be organised, proactive and commercially aware, with a practical approach to problem-solving and a strong commitment to delivering safe, high-quality outcomes.
