Brief Description:As an
Associate Sponsor, you will lead aspects of the development and delivery of the proposed enhancement to the Network Rail station at Euston.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with Project Management or Development Management experience.

Euston is the sixth busiest station on the national network, the single biggest destination for passengers on the busiest mixed-traffic route in Europe, and the third most crowded London terminus.

It already serves twice the number of passengers it was designed for when it opened in 1968.

Forecast passenger growth, the construction of HS2's station 'next door', and future changes to the mix of trains and passengers Euston serves will only add to its importance.

At the same time, becoming home to High-Speed services and significant commercial development opportunities will transform the Euston area for rail users and the businesses and communities it serves.

We want our station to be at the heart of that regeneration.

Developing and ultimately delivering enhancements to our station at Euston is a key priority for Network Rail, now, during the remainder of CP6 and beyond.

This role is essential to taking that forward and enabling Euston to be fit for an exciting future.
