Brief Description:


We have
two exciting opportunities to be part of the HS2 On Network Works team with roles available within the
Area North (West Midlands) and
Euston B1 Delivery Areas.

You will be part of the NW&C Region which consists of three routes - North West, Central, and West Coast South - and a regional team supporting Regional Major Programmes & Professional services.


What will you be doing?


You will be leading projects on the 'On Network Works' Programme, a major programme delivering critical interventions on behalf of HS2 Ltd.

This is an exciting time to be joining the team with the complex interfaces with HS2, their supply chain, and NW&C Region all driving forward.

You will be leading a range of projects throughout the PACE Lifecycle and is a fantastic opportunity to support the delivery of national important projects.


This post will require you to develop a close working relationship with HS2 Ltd and support the co-ordination of activity across the portfolio.

You will be ultimately responsible for the delivery of the project benefit realisation to the agreed scope, time and cost.


We have 2 opportunities available: 1 based in our London Euston
office and 1 based in our Birmingham office.

About the role (External):


Every day will be different, but you can expect to be involved in the following activities:

  • Build effective relationships, (internally & externally) to balance the requirements of the client, Network Rail and the industry as a whole. Champion the interests of clients, customers and stakeholders acting as the focal point for escalation within Network Rail.
  • Review and interrogate client remits to confirm their viability. Work with internal and external stakeholders to establish a scope which optimises client requirements, value for money, network availability and capacity for future development and whole life cost.
  • Be responsible for the conversion of the client remit into an agreed project requirements specification. Be accountable for the development of the initial project plan and budget; working with the project manager to specify how the project is going to be delivered, expected milestones and associated timescales, resource requirements, risks & issues and funding needs/sources.
  • Produce business cases and investment papers for projects.
  • Devise solutions which maintain the 'business as usual' accessibility for our customers, take consideration of the 7 day railway principles and therefore minimise disruption to end rail users. Take a national/route wide view across portfolios to generate additional benefits, identify and resolve conflicting work and drive efficiencies.
  • Lead the process of quantifying risk associated with the project. Devise mitigating actions and periodically review recovery progress.
  • Interrogate and challenge plans to assess the deliverability of agreed scope within stated timescales and cost parameters, presenting any required scope changes to the client for approval.
  • Hold the Project Manager accountable for programme delivery to cost, time and scope parameters. Hold periodic reviews to understand and challenge delivery progress against the client remit. Communicate progress status against defined milestones and expectations to stakeholders putting contingency measures in place if required.
  • Negotiate with customers and stakeholders on the project's commercial and contractual terms in accordance with relevant corporate policy and strategy. Act as the focal point for negotiations and resolution of external scheme interface requirements, including any Parliamentary or Statutory processes, external consents issues to optimise the value of the scheme to Network Rail and funder(s).
  • Comply with the requirements of investment regulations, other corporate governance and the Guide to Railway Investment Projects. Adhere to corporate processes, including those related to safety, finance, legal and corporate affairs.
  • Facilitate the discharge of the duties assigned by the Client as detailed within the Construction Design Management (CDM) Regulations for the programme of projects allocated to you.
