Project Manager (Rail) - OUTSIDE IR35

My industry leading principal contractor client is looking for a high-caliber Project Manager to spearhead multi-disciplinary rail projects across the North West. You will be responsible for the "cradle-to-grave" delivery of infrastructure schemes, ensuring they are completed on time, within budget, and to the rigorous safety standards of the UK rail industry.

This role requires a commercial mind and a technical heart-someone who can manage complex budgets and stakeholder relationships while understanding the engineering nuances of a live railway environment.



Key Responsibilities:

  • Own the project lifecycle from initial tender support and planning through to construction, commissioning, and final hand-back (AMP/GRIP/PACE stages).

  • Act as the primary point of contact for Network Rail, local authorities, and third-party stakeholders to secure permissions and manage expectations.

  • Identify project risks early (commercial and technical) and implement mitigation strategies. Manage change control processes effectively.

  • Lead a multi-disciplinary team of Engineers, Construction Managers, and Subcontractors, fostering a collaborative and high-performing culture.

  • Ensure all projects are delivered in strict accordance with CDM Regulations and Principal Contractor duties.



Candidate Requirements:

  • Minimum 5+ years of Project Management experience specifically within UK Rail Infrastructure.

  • Qualifications:

    • Degree in Civil Engineering, Project Management, or a related field.

    • Chartered status (MICE, APM, or equivalent) is highly desirable.

  • Deep familiarity with Network Rail''s PACE or GRIP frameworks.

  • Strong working knowledge of NEC3/NEC4 contracts.

  • Exceptional negotiation skills and the ability to present complex project data to executive boards and clients.
