This is a standout opportunity to join High Speed Two Ltd and play a key role in delivering the Washwood Heath Train Care Depot, a landmark £800m £1bn project that will become the operational heart of the HS2 network. Why This Role Stands Out This isn t a typical Assistant QS role. You ll be working client-side, gaining exposure across the full project lifecycle from early design and target cost setting through to construction, commissioning and handover. You ll be involved in a truly multi-disciplinary environment, covering civils, structures, buildings, M&E, rail systems, and power - giving you experience that would normally take years to build elsewhere. There are also genuine commercial firsts on this project, including new approaches to compensation events designed to streamline delivery, giving you exposure to modern, forward-thinking contract management practices. The Project The Washwood Heath Depot is one of the most complex rail facilities delivered in the UK in recent decades. Delivered over an 8-year programme, it will include major assets such as maintenance buildings, control centres, stabling yards, and operational facilities all critical to the running of the HS2 network.

Around 45% of roles are filled internally at HS2, and with an 8 10 year programme ahead, there are real opportunities to move across different packages (civils, stations, rail systems, rolling stock) and build a long-term career. Progression to Commercial Manager level is realistic within 2 years, supported by structured development, mentoring, and full support toward professional chartership (RICS, ICES, etc.). About You You ll likely be a Graduate QS, Assistant QS or Ass Cost Manager with around 18 months+ experience, ideally within infrastructure or major projects. Experience working with NEC3/4 contracts (including compensation events) is highly desirable. You may come from a main contractor or consultancy background and have worked across sectors such as rail, civils, utilities, highways, water, or buildings. Most importantly, you ll be a motivated self-starter with a strong desire to learn, develop, and build a long-term career in commercial management within major infrastructure. Why Join? You ll be part of a flexible, supportive, and high-performing environment with a strong culture of development and collaboration. With no rigid long-hours culture, flexible working, and exposure to one of the UK s most prestigious programmes, this role offers both career acceleration and work-life balance.
