This is a highly visible role requiring strong leadership, commercial awareness and stakeholder management skills. \n \nWhilst the project is being delivered within a rail environment, my client places greater emphasis on heavy civils experience than rail-specific experience.

The project offers the type of complex engineering challenges that many Project Managers rarely get the opportunity to lead from start to finish. \n \nBeyond the immediate project, you'll be joining a contractor that is continuing to grow its presence across rail and civil engineering infrastructure. The business is actively pursuing major framework opportunities with Network Rail and Transport for Wales, alongside involvement in significant schemes including Cardiff Crossrail and a growing portfolio of structures and property projects across the UK. \n \nUnlike larger organisations where Project Managers can become one of many, this role offers genuine visibility and influence. You'll work closely with senior leadership, have the autonomy to make key project decisions, and play a significant role in shaping future project delivery within the business. \n \nThis role would particularly suit someone who enjoys being close to projects, working within a collaborative team environment and taking pride in delivering technically challenging infrastructure schemes. \n \nAbout the Company: \nMy client is a growing, family-run infrastructure contractor with a reputation for delivering complex projects successfully through a collaborative, hands-on approach.
