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 over 200,000 vehicles per day. It’s a critical infrastructure asset for personal and goods vehicles into and around our capital, with around 800 structures and five tunnels. 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 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 life‑cycle – from feasibility through design and construction to hand‑over – while ensuring efficient planning and coordination of road space.

The role combines operational scheduling responsibilities (including road‑space bookings, traffic management planning and specialist plant coordination) with broader project delivery support such as project planning, risk identification, cost and progress tracking, stakeholder engagement and reporting. Working closely with inspection leads, designers, asset teams, Project Managers, framework contractors and external stakeholders, the post‑holder 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.

The role also supports the monitoring of delivery performance, promotes proactive problem‑solving and helps maintain compliance with relevant contractual, safety and reporting requirements.
