Your responsibility will extend beyond an individual project package. You'll lead a significant section of route, manage a team of Project Managers and work directly with the main contractor and wider HS2 organisation to get the railway built. The progression opportunity is genuine: the previous Senior Project Managers have already moved into Head of Delivery roles. And when this section is complete, HS2 has further major opportunities across stations and railway systems, with the wider programme continuing through to 2039. Package £100,000 £111,578 salary, potentially up to £120,000 depending on experience. 12% employer pension contribution. Private healthcare. 25 days holiday.
