The Senior Project Manager
- Technical Works will operate within a PMC environment on a major rail and transport infrastructure program, acting as a senior technical lead for architecture, civil, structural, and rail‑related infrastructure packages. The position is non‑operational and focuses on managing the design and build process rather than railway operations. The role helps protect project value by improving design quality, reducing interface risks, supporting authority approvals, strengthening constructability, and ensuring that stations, depots, viaducts, bridges, tunnels, earthworks, track‑related infrastructure, and public‑facing assets are delivered as safe, compliant, and buildable solutions.

• Act as the primary PMC technical focal point for architecture, civil, structural, and rail infrastructure matters across the program.
• Represent the client in senior technical, design, coordination, risk, and interface meetings with consultants, contractors, authorities, and third parties.
• Ensure employer requirements, design briefs, rail‑specific criteria, and technical standards are clearly communicated, understood, and implemented by delivery partners.
• Provide independent technical advice to client leadership on built environment scope, rail infrastructure risks, programme impacts, design issues, and delivery decisions.
• Lead the design lifecycle for architectural, civil, structural, and rail‑related infrastructure works from concept and schematic design through detailed design and IFC deliverables.
• Manage technical review of stations, depots, ancillary buildings, public realm works, viaducts, bridges, tunnels, retaining structures, foundations, earthworks, track‑form, formation, drainage, and trackside civil works.
• Review design submissions, BIM models, calculations, technical reports, specifications, and drawings for compliance with employer requirements, design criteria, local codes, rail infrastructure regulations, and international standards.
• Chair and coordinate multidisciplinary design review workshops, value engineering sessions, and constructability reviews.
• Ensure solutions are optimised for safety, operations, maintainability, functionality, cost efficiency, and long‑term project performance.
• Oversee requirements management and traceability from capture through verification, validation, close‑out, and approval.
• Ensure formal design verification, independent checks, peer reviews, and technical assurance processes are applied correctly.
• Manage interfaces between architecture, civil works, structures, rail infrastructure, MEP, signalling, telecoms, power, rolling stock, systems integration, utilities, and highways.
• Maintain interface registers and support early resolution of cross‑discipline and cross‑contract issues.
• Coordinate critical interfaces such as track‑structure interaction, rail‑station integration, rail‑road interfaces, clearance requirements, access needs, evacuation routes, and maintenance provisions.
• Support programme‑wide design and interface governance in collaboration with design and interface leadership.
• Embed safety‑by‑design principles into architectural, civil, structural, and rail infrastructure solutions.
• Oversee compliance with structural robustness requirements, fire and life safety expectations, evacuation strategies, construction safety needs, operational safety, and rail‑specific safety standards.
• Review RAMS inputs, hazard identification records, risk assessments, mitigation plans, and technical safety evidence related to built environment and rail infrastructure scope.
• Coordinate with independent reviewers, independent…
