About The Business Unit

We help conceive, drive, and implement transport solutions for cities, regions, and asset owners / operators around the globe. From preparing the business case and advising on related issues - such as revenue, procurement, and environmental legislation - to delivering the completed infrastructure and helping maintain it. Our planning, engineering, environmental and management skills cover the whole project cycle. We play a major role in developing and delivering the Global Transport Sector Strategy.

Overview Of The Role

As a senior project manager in Rail division, you will be responsible for managing the delivery of feasibility studies, design and related professional services to a range of UK rail clients including transport authorities, design and build (D&B) contractors and rolling stock manufacturers. You will operate within a team of 40 project management professionals, managing the delivery of projects by our multidiscipline technical teams. Infrastructure projects will typically range from small renewals (£100k) through to large (£3m+) D&B schemes involving stations, bridges, access-for-all upgrades, track, signalling, telecoms, electrification and plant, traction power, overhead catenary and tunnel systems. Rolling stock projects will typically involve either new fleet procurement or fleet life-extension. Most of our projects will also include a systems engineering and assurance workstream.

We operate in a matrix structure, so you will have dual lines of reporting. Your discipline line of reporting will be via our Head of Discipline for Project Management. Each of your projects will have a Project Principal, within the client portfolio(s) to which you are assigned. As we progress through Network Rail’s Control Period 7, we are seeing an increasing proportion of our work being delivered via D&B contractors. We are therefore looking for senior project managers with a strong understanding of project delivery in a D&B environment.

We play a role in many of the UK’s largest and most complex rail projects. We offer a great environment in which you can develop your career as a project professional. Senior project managers who deliver positive outcomes for our clients, our staff and the company, are able to progress to project principal roles (supervising the work of other project managers) or towards roles in our flagship projects in the UK, or elsewhere in the world.
