In the UK we re proud to be delivering some of the most iconic projects which help connect people, protect our environment and meet emission reduction targets. From motorways to tramways, nuclear power plants to smart cities, clients choose us to help them solve their most complex challenges - delivering climate-responsible growth that meets the needs of communities, industry, and the planet.

The M25 is one of our Flagship projects in the UK. It is the most used part of the UK Strategic Road Network with it seeing over 200,000 vehicles per day and it’s a critical infrastructure asset for personal and goods vehicles into and around our capital. The network includes around 800 structures and 5 tunnels, so it requires high levels of performance, constant improvement and repairs to keep it operating smoothly.

We’ve formed a Joint Venture project called Connect Plus Services (CPS) to work with our partners to widen, operate and maintain the M25 under a 30-year contract and we are looking for a Project Delivery Assistant to support the successful delivery of highways and technology schemes across the full project lifecycle — from feasibility through design and construction to handover — while ensuring efficient planning and coordination of road space.

Working closely with inspection leads, designers, asset teams, Project Managers, framework contractors and external stakeholders, the postholder helps keep programmes moving at pace, ensures road-space and inspection activities align with wider project objectives, and contributes to safe, timely and cost-effective delivery of schemes.
