We are recruiting for a delivery partner appointed to Network Rail’s Anglia Reactive & Small Schemes framework for CP7. This is a high-velocity delivery environment focused on reactive and small civil infrastructure works that keep the railway safe and operational.

As Small Works Project Manager (formerly termed Minor Works Manager), you’ll manage a portfolio of rapid response and low-complexity civil schemes from inception through to safe, assured completion. You’ll be at the centre of activity that includes urgent reactive call outs, small planned works and condition-led interventions on civil assets within the Anglia route.

• Collaborate with route asset engineers, designers and delivery contractors to define scope and prioritise interventions
• Coordinate surveys, temporary works, access planning, possessions/isolations and implementation
• Drive commercial and programme control – cost, risk, change and reporting
• Ensure works meet Network Rail standards and assurance requirements
• Manage multiple schemes concurrently without compromising quality or safety

What we’re after
• Proven rail infrastructure experience as a Project Manager, Minor Works or Small Works lead
• Track record delivering reactive, urgent and small planned civil engineering works on live railway assets
• Comfortable with high throughput, varied scopes and shifting priorities
• Solid understanding of working with possessions, isolations and operational interfaces
