Project Manager - Railroad Bridge
We are seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead the delivery of a major railroad bridge project from planning and design through construction, commissioning, and closeout. This role will be responsible for coordinating multidisciplinary teams and ensuring that all project activities are completed safely, efficiently, on schedule, and within budget. The successful candidate will work closely with engineers, contractors, rail operators, regulators, local authorities, and other stakeholders to deliver a high-quality infrastructure solution with minimal disruption to rail services and surrounding communities.
Key responsibilities include developing and maintaining the project execution plan, schedule, budget, risk register, procurement strategy, and reporting processes. You will oversee design development, construction activities, temporary works, traffic and rail possession planning, environmental requirements, quality assurance, and health and safety performance. The Project Manager will monitor contractor progress, manage change orders and claims, resolve technical and commercial issues, and ensure that all work complies with applicable rail, bridge, construction, and regulatory standards. Regular progress updates, cost forecasts, performance reviews, and stakeholder communications will also be required.
Applicants should have significant experience managing complex bridge, rail, civil engineering, or transportation infrastructure projects, ideally involving live rail environments or major structures. A degree or equivalent qualification in civil engineering, construction management, project management, or a related discipline is preferred. Strong knowledge of contract administration, construction methodologies, scheduling, cost control, risk management, and safety legislation is essential. Professional certification in project management or engineering would be advantageous. We are looking for a confident and collaborative leader with excellent communication, negotiation, decision-making, and problem-solving skills, together with the ability to manage competing priorities and maintain strong working relationships throughout the project lifecycle.
