This is an exciting opportunity to use your project and programme management experience and commercial acumen to drive the success of initiatives at the heart of the nation's transport infrastructure. The Highways Agency is responsible for operating, maintaining and improving England's strategic road network.

Our key challenge is to provide a network that contributes to economic growth by being efficient, sustainable, and useful to the businesses, workers and consumers who use it every day.

Influencing major infrastructure projects, you will genuinely enjoy scope to make the kind of impact that will transform lives. In this brand new role, you will establish your credentials as a leader. You'll be responsible for both project and contracts management. Planning and managing a prioritised programme, you'll champion efficiencies and provide constructive challenge to every aspect of project development and delivery. We will look to you to enhance our financial and operational performance, while minimising financial and reputational risks. When it comes to asset management, you'll be accountable for implementing our statutory responsibilities within the planning agenda. Delivering asset management frameworks, you'll identify future maintenance, renewal and enhancement needs. You'll also manage stakeholder engagement.

A qualified project manager with a track record of success in managing programmes, you have extensive experience of delivering major projects - likely in a highways, infrastructure, rail or IT environment. You will bring to the role a demonstrable flair for commercial, finance and project risk management. A talent for managing diverse stakeholders at a senior level will also be key to your success. Line management experience will really set you apart.

There has never been a better moment to join us. We're currently transitioning into an independent publicly owned body, which is providing huge scope for investment, innovation and change. With an increased annual expenditure of £4 billion and a remit to create the infrastructure of the future, we have the opportunity to make a huge impact on how people go about their lives. Our transformation journey provides ample opportunities for individuals to build a reputation for excellence.
