Do you have experience with Station Commissioning and Entry Into Service?

Would you like to work with a business that has made a lasting contribution to the economy, communities, and environment, and that is involved in some of the most innovative railway schemes in the UK?

The Civils & Infrastructure Team at Ford & Stanley Group is proud to be working in partnership with a rapidly growing rail consultancy with a HQ in Birmingham and several new offices across the UK.

As an EIS Project Manager, you will be supporting the delivery of an array of interesting station and rail developments, including the largest Local Authority-led schemes in the UK, the Northumberland Line Extension. This scheme alone is due to bring up to £470m of economic benefits to local communities.

Your job will be to manage interdepartmental relationships and ensure that all H&S, Technical, and Assurance information is accounted for. You will also act as the main interface with the ORR and other regulatory bodies.

Our client is open to candidates from various backgrounds, whether that's Project/Construction delivery, Engineering, Assurance, Design Management, or perhaps someone from an Independent Assessor, looking to move into a consultancy environment.

The Opportunity

This is an opportunity to work across several prestigious rail projects, as well as the chance to get your foot in the door with a company recognised and awarded for being a Great Place to Work for several years in a row, due to their continued investment on employee wellbeing and development.

With a modern and vibrant HQ based in the centre of Birmingham, open-door management policy, a friendly and engaging office culture, and a flexible working policy, this could be the perfect business for you to carve a long-term career with.
