We are seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager to lead client-side delivery of rail telecoms projects for Neos Networks. This role requires a credible rail professional with strong assurance capability, proven stakeholder leadership and a relentless focus on delivery to time.

You will manage complex interfaces between on-rail delivery and Neos off-rail infrastructure and enablement works, working collaboratively with Network Rail Route and Maintenance teams and the supply chain to achieve safe, assured outcomes.

The Senior Project Manager will provide client-side leadership for the delivery of complex telecoms projects related to the Reach program, typically involving those works associated with end-to-end commercialization and incorporating both rail side and non rail-side telecom enablement works. This role may extend to other Neos related projects as may be needed.

The role is accountable for assurance, safety, stakeholder confidence and delivery to time, cost, quality of the project works, including the co-ordination of all aspects of both off rail and on rail interfaces, and installation and commissioning of telecoms equipment. The postholder will lead through collaboration, clarity and disciplined assurance, maintaining momentum in highly regulated environments.

This role will suit a senior PM who leads through collaboration, sound judgement and evidence, and who is comfortable operating independently in a high-accountability environment.

· Provide senior client assurance across design, construction and commissioning, including integration of design process, telecoms product, and associated installation and commissioning

· Manage complex stakeholder interfaces across road and rail sectors, working closely with specialist persons within the Neos and Reach teams. The role will include working alongside Co Client Network Rail as a key facilitator on Reach assets

· Manage all interfaces between on-rail works and Neos off-rail infrastructure and enablement activities, ensuring seamless integration, manage dependencies, access constraints and handovers.

· Provide senior oversight of risk and hazard management and ensure robust application of CSM.

· Operate effectively with appropriate planning tools such as P6, working within NEC contracts, supporting early warnings, change and programme impacts.

· Maintain focus on delivery certainty, critical path protection and pragmatic issue resolution.

Essential Experience & Capability

· Significant experience delivering telecoms projects, familiar with telecoms product installation and commissioning, and road and rail infrastructure projects

· Proven senior client-side or delivery-side project management experience in complex and regulated environments.

· Demonstrable experience managing multiple stakeholders, including those of Network Rail or equivalent

· Strong background in client assurance, governance and delivery control.

· Robust understanding of risk and hazard management and Common Safety Method (CSM).

· Working knowledge of planning tools, NEC contracts and collaborative delivery models.

· Experience managing complex interface risk across multi-party environments.

Behavioural Competencies

· Leadership & Authority – Leads with credibility and calm authority, able to influence and challenge senior stakeholders constructively.

· Collaboration – Builds strong, productive relationships across clients, Network Rail, contractors and internal teams.

· Decision Making – Makes timely, well-reasoned decisions, balancing safety, programme and commercial considerations.

· Accountability – Takes ownership of outcomes, follows through on commitments and holds others to account.

· Delivery Focus – Maintains momentum and prioritises actions that protect time certainty and critical path.

· Communication – Communicates clearly and confidently, translating complex issues into practical direction.

· Resilience – Operates effectively under pressure in live rail and safety-critical environments.

· Integrity – Acts consistently with Neos values, safety standards and contractual obligations.
