Job Title: Project Manager – HS2 Utility Diversions

Location: Calvert
Contract Type: 12-Month Contract (Inside IR35)
Rate: £500.00 – 550.00 per day.

Company Overview

We are recruiting for an experienced Project Manager to support the delivery of utility diversion works on the High Speed 2 (HS2) programme.

This is a critical role within a major infrastructure scheme, supporting the recovery and delivery of complex multi-utility diversion works. The project forms part of a nationally significant infrastructure programme running through to 2028 and requires strong leadership to drive performance, programme stability, and commercial control.

The Role

As Project Manager, you will take responsibility for delivering multi-utility diversion works (with particular focus on water and power utilities) across a key section of the HS2 programme.

This is a hands-on leadership role requiring experience managing direct teams and contractors in live utility diversion environments — not solely overseeing subcontract packages. You will play a key role in driving programme performance, managing labour and supply chain partners, and ensuring works are delivered safely, on time, and within budget.

You will report into senior leadership and work closely with commercial, planning, and site delivery teams.

Key Responsibilities

Lead and manage multi-utility diversion projects from planning through to commissioning and handover.
Drive programme performance and ensure works are delivered in line with agreed milestones.
Manage site teams of approximately 20–30 personnel, supported by contractors.
Ensure delivery of works in line with commercial targets and contractual obligations.
Take ownership of project budgets, forecasts, and cost control.
Oversee commissioning of utility works.
Maintain strict adherence to Health & Safety standards and HS2 compliance requirements.
Provide regular progress updates and performance reports to senior management.
Build collaborative relationships across operational and commercial teams.

Key Requirements

Proven experience operating at Project Manager level within utilities or major infrastructure.
Strong multi-utility experience (water and power essential).
Experience working on utility diversion packages (not just subcontract oversight).
Track record of delivering projects on time and within budget.
Experience managing commissioning of utility works.
HS2 experience highly desirable.
Strong working knowledge of Health & Safety legislation and infrastructure compliance standards.
SMSTS, CSCS card, NRSWA certification.
