Significant experience in project or construction management within complex infrastructure.

Strong civil engineering delivery experience, ideally across heavy civils, highways, rail, nuclear, tunnelling or similarly complex programmes.

Experience delivering projects valued in the hundreds of millions or working within a wider 1bn+ infrastructure programme.

Heavy civils experience across earthworks, bridges, viaducts, highways or tunnelling.

Experience of project controls including Earned Value Management, CPI and SPI.Experience taking major construction packages through completion, close-out and handover.

Experience working with local authorities, utilities, landowners or community stakeholders.

Experience working within an alliance or highly collaborative contracting environment.

This is an opportunity to join HS2 at an important stage of delivery, with significant civil engineering works still to complete over the next two to three years.

The successful Senior Project Managers will play a key role in keeping complex packages moving, resolving problems before they impact delivery and working collaboratively across HS2, contractors and stakeholders to successfully complete and hand over the works.
