Senior Transportation Project Manager
We are seeking a Senior Transportation Project Manager to lead the planning, design, and delivery of complex transportation infrastructure projects. The successful candidate will manage projects from initial scoping and feasibility through design, procurement, construction, commissioning, and closeout, ensuring that programmes are delivered safely, efficiently, and in line with client requirements, regulatory standards, and approved budgets. Projects may include highways, public transport, traffic management, active travel, junction improvements, and associated civil infrastructure.
Responsibilities will include developing project scopes, delivery strategies, schedules, budgets, risk registers, and resource plans; coordinating multidisciplinary design and technical teams; managing consultants, contractors, suppliers, and other stakeholders; and monitoring progress against agreed milestones, costs, quality objectives, and performance measures. You will lead project and design reviews, oversee change control and commercial administration, identify and mitigate delivery risks, and ensure that health, safety, environmental, accessibility, and sustainability requirements are embedded throughout the project lifecycle. The role will also involve preparing reports and presentations for senior stakeholders, supporting business development activities, contributing to bids and proposals, and providing guidance and mentoring to project managers and junior team members.
Applicants should have significant experience managing transportation or civil engineering projects, with a strong understanding of project governance, construction processes, contract management, cost control, and statutory approvals. A relevant degree or equivalent professional experience is required, together with a recognised project management, engineering, or construction qualification where applicable. You will be an effective communicator with proven leadership, negotiation, problem-solving, and stakeholder-management skills, able to build productive relationships across technical, commercial, public-sector, and community environments. Experience using project controls, scheduling, risk-management, and document-management systems is desirable. The ability to manage competing priorities, make sound decisions, and maintain high standards in a changing delivery environment is essential.
