Senior Project Manager, Infrastructure High Speed Assurance Close to half a million documents will have been produced on one section of this major infrastructure programme. Someone needs to make sure the right ones are available at the right time, to the right people, in a form that actually serves the future railway. Our client is looking for a Senior Project Manager to project manage the assurance documentation process for a major section of the High Speed build. The work is about getting control of a very large body of project documentation, understanding what exists, and ensuring that assurance records are accessible and fit for purpose for the next stage of construction and for the parties who will ultimately operate and maintain the railway. This is a programme-level responsibility with real consequences for how the project hands over to the future. This isn't a technical assurance role, nor an engineering role, but the ability to talk to engineers, regarding assurance is essential. You will identify where current processes are falling short, lead improvements, and coordinate across internal teams and supply-chain partners to close the gaps. You will manage interfaces with third parties who have a legitimate interest in the assurance record, including future railway operators and the next phase of the delivery programme. You will oversee the NEC3 contract management obligations that sit within your scope, manage risk proactively. This is a senior role with autonomous decision-making authority and accountability for outcomes, not just activity. What you need to bring Experience across the full project lifecycle is essential, including planning, procurement and delivery on complex programmes. You will need a strong track record in project and contract management, ideally on large civil or infrastructure schemes, and the ability to work across multiple disciplines and functions to move things forward. Understanding of risk identification, schedule management and contract performance monitoring is core to the role. APM-aligned project management knowledge at advanced level is expected, and a degree in project management, engineering, commercial management or equivalent experience forms the baseline qualification. Experience of documentation, information management or assurance processes on a major infrastructure programme would be a genuine advantage. A background in testing, commissioning or technical integration is also relevant. If this looks like the right next step, please send your CV across and we will be in touch.
