About Network Rail


This is an exciting time to join Network Rail. We’re passionate about great service and commit to our service equation vision by “putting passengers first”. Performance, safety and getting the fundamental basics right, is something we strive for as well as asking ourselves - what can we do to put our passengers and freight users at the centre of everything we do? Take a look here!

You will be part of the West Coast South Route Sponsorship team, covering the south of Crewe to London Euston. This particular project is Euston based but that is not essential as a location of work.

We value the commitments you may have outside of work and will consider flexible working applications. If we can make it work – we will!

We're proud to be recognised by Glassdoor as one of the Top 50 Best Places to Work in 2021. Find out more from our people here.


Brief Description


What will you be doing?

Direct and manage the development and implementation of the Euston Immediate Capacity Measure portfolio of workstreams where Network Rail assumes a sponsorship role. Deliver the project benefit realisation to agreed scope, time and cost.


About the role (External)


Key Accountabilities

1. Build effective relationships, (internally & externally) to balance the requirements of the client, Network Rail and the industry as a whole. Champion the interests of clients, customers and stakeholders acting as the focal point for escalation within Network Rail.
2. Review and interrogate client remits to confirm their viability. Work with internal and external stakeholders to establish a scope which optimises client requirements, value for money, network availability and capacity for future development and whole life cost.
3. Be responsible for the conversion of the client remit into an agreed project requirements specification. Be accountable for the development of the initial project plan and budget; working with the project manager to specify how the project is going to be delivered, expected milestones and associated timescales, resource requirements, risks & issues and funding needs/sources.
4. Produce business cases and investment papers for projects.
5. Devise solutions which maintain the ‘business as usual’ accessibility for our customers at Euston station, take consideration of the 7 day railway principles and therefore minimise disruption to end rail users. Take a national/route wide view across portfolios to generate additional benefits, identify and resolve conflicting work and drive efficiencies.
6. Lead the process of quantifying risk associated with the project. Devise mitigating actions and periodically review recovery progress.
7. Interrogate and challenge plans to assess the deliverability of agreed scope within stated timescales and cost parameters, presenting any required scope changes to the client for approval.
8. Hold the Project Manager accountable for programme delivery to cost, time and scope parameters. Hold periodic reviews to understand and challenge delivery progress against the client remit. Communicate progress status against defined milestones and expectations to stakeholders putting contingency measures in place if required.
9. Negotiate with customers and stakeholders on the project’s commercial and contractual terms in accordance with relevant corporate policy and strategy. Act as the focal point for negotiations and resolution of external scheme interface requirements, including any Parliamentary or Statutory processes, external consents issues to optimise the value of the scheme to Network Rail and funder(s).
10. Comply with the requirements of investment regulations, other corporate governance and the Guide to Railway Investment Projects. Adhere to corporate processes, including those related to safety, finance, legal and corporate affairs.
11. Facilitate the discharge of the duties assigned by the Client as detailed within the Construction Design Management (CDM) Regulations for the programme of projects allocated to you.
