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 oversee projects from initial feasibility and concept development through detailed design, construction, commissioning, and closeout. Responsibilities will include defining project scope, schedules, budgets, and resourcing requirements; coordinating multidisciplinary teams; managing consultants, contractors, and stakeholders; and ensuring that deliverables meet technical, commercial, regulatory, and quality standards.
You will provide strong project leadership across transportation programmes involving highways, roads, public transport, traffic management, active travel, or related infrastructure. The role will involve preparing business cases, procurement documentation, progress reports, risk registers, and financial forecasts, as well as monitoring performance against agreed objectives. You will identify and resolve technical and delivery issues, manage changes and claims, support contract administration, and maintain effective communication with clients, public authorities, communities, and project partners. A strong focus on health and safety, sustainability, accessibility, and value for money will be expected throughout the project lifecycle.
Applicants should have substantial experience managing major transportation or civil engineering projects, ideally within a consultancy, contractor, government, or infrastructure environment. A degree or equivalent qualification in civil engineering, transportation, project management, or a related discipline is preferred, together with relevant professional accreditation or a recognised project management qualification. You will need proven experience managing budgets, programmes, risks, procurement, and multidisciplinary teams, along with a sound understanding of transportation standards, construction methods, contracts, and statutory approvals. Excellent communication, negotiation, problem-solving, and stakeholder management skills are essential. The ability to work independently, make informed decisions, and mentor less experienced colleagues will be highly valued.
