Construction Manager - Rail

A long term contract opportunity has arisen for a Construction Manager to join a tier-one consultancy providing project management, engineering, and construction management services to Network Rail.

Based in YORK, you will support construction assurance and governance for third-party works, ensuring the safety and integrity of Network Rail’s infrastructure.

You will cover the eastern region of the route, and in a typical week, you will likely spend one to two days in the York office, with the remainder of your time spent visiting sites across the route.

The role offers £350 per day (Inside IR35), plus business mileage at 45p per mile. The initial contract duration is six months, with a strong likelihood of extension thereafter, making this an excellent opportunity to secure a long-term role within a relatively compact geographic area.

• Providing governance through site inspections and assurance activities
• Monitoring construction risk and implement proportionate mitigation
• Validating design risks through audits and constructability reviews
• Ensuring compliance with standards, procedures, and legislation
• Approving construction and health and safety documentation
• Building effective relationships with stakeholders and site teams
• Producing clear assurance reporting, data capture, and risk management

To be successful in the role, you will need to have:

• Demonstrable experience in working on Network Rail (Civil Engineering) projects for either a Principal Contractor or the Client
• Proven construction management experience, including rail construction assurance environments
• Strong knowledge of CDM regulations, health and safety legislation, and rail engineering standards
• Certified in site safety management, holding valid PTS
• Effective communication with demonstrated leadership, mentoring, and stakeholder management skills
