Contract: Long-Term Contract
Start Date: ASAP - Immediate Start Preferred
We are currently looking for a Project Manager to join a long-term Network Rail fencing contract, covering the Western region from Weston-super-Mare to Penzance.
The role is highly process-driven, managing multiple fencing projects from cradle to grave - including access, labour, materials, programming, client liaison, delivery and handover.
Where you will add value:
• Manage a workbank of approximately 50 projects per year
• Develop programmes and delivery schedules
• Coordinate 2-3 fencing teams across multiple sites
• Manage works from initial planning through to completion and client handover
• Plan labour, order materials and ensure teams have the correct paperwork and equipment
• Manage client and stakeholder relationships
• Coordinate third-party access, ecology, ground conditions, weather and equipment requirements
• Monitor progress, deal with changes and react to issues or emergencies
• Complete handovers, manage snags and ensure works are delivered safely and to the required standard
To succeed in this role, you will need:
• Project Management or Senior Construction Management experience
• Experience within minor civils infrastructure within rail would be beneficial
• Strong organisational and multitasking skills
• Ability to manage multiple projects and teams simultaneously
• Good client and stakeholder management skills
• Understanding of working within a structured framework or contract environment
• Rail experience is beneficial but deep rail engineering or fencing experience is not essential
• PTS can be provided; CSCS is desirable but not essential
Why this contract stands out:
• Long-term opportunity on a 6-year Network Rail contract
• Potential to continue for the duration of the framework for the right contractor
• Predominantly site-based across the South West, with 1 day per week available for admin/home working
• Opportunity to take ownership of a substantial, multi-million-pound workbank.
• Strong fit for a Construction Manager looking to step into Project Management
• One-stage Teams interview process
• Immediate start preferred to allow for a full handover before Christmas
