A rare opportunity to join an ambitious development of Transport and Regeneration infrastructure projects.

A challenging and varied role within a small high achieving team focused on delivery of an ambitious transport and regeneration infrastructure programme. The role will be responsible for a number of major capital projects with an emphasis on infrastructure programme delivery. Highway and Regeneration infrastructure projects are at the core of this high-quality programme and this role is a key part of that success.

The right person for this job will not be deterred by the difficulties that delivering infrastructure faces but rather proactive in finding ways forward.
