Project Director (Metro/Rail), Bid Opportunity

An exciting opportunity is available for an experienced Project Director to lead the delivery of a major metro or rail bid opportunity. This senior position will be responsible for shaping the overall bid strategy, coordinating multidisciplinary contributions and developing a compelling, compliant and commercially robust submission. The successful candidate will provide visible leadership across engineering, construction, commercial, procurement, planning, operations, stakeholder engagement and risk functions, ensuring that all elements of the proposal are aligned with client requirements and project objectives.

Key responsibilities will include establishing bid governance, programme controls and review processes; managing interfaces between technical and commercial workstreams; defining delivery methodologies, construction sequencing and resourcing strategies; and overseeing the preparation of schedules, cost plans, risk registers, assumptions, value engineering proposals and supporting documentation. You will lead engagement with partners, subcontractors, suppliers, advisers and relevant stakeholders, while ensuring that responses demonstrate a clear understanding of safety, quality, sustainability, operational integration and whole-life performance requirements. The role will also involve presenting recommendations to senior decision-makers, challenging proposals where necessary and maintaining momentum through key review and submission milestones.

Applicants should have substantial experience directing major rail, metro, transportation or similarly complex infrastructure bids and a proven record of leading large, diverse teams in high-value, competitive environments. Strong knowledge of rail systems, civil infrastructure, construction delivery and project controls is expected, together with commercial awareness and the ability to assess risk and opportunity. Excellent communication, negotiation and influencing skills are essential, as is the confidence to work with senior stakeholders under demanding deadlines. Experience with alliance, design-and-build, public-private partnership or other collaborative procurement models would be advantageous. This is an opportunity to make a significant contribution to a high-profile transport programme and help shape a successful, sustainable delivery solution.
