Summary
Are you an experienced Chartered Civil Engineer (or equivalent professional qualification) with a track record of delivering high value/high risk infrastructure works, leading multi-disciplinary teams?
Transport Scotland is looking for experienced applicants to fill two Senior Project Delivery Team Leader roles in our Major Projects Directorate. These are exciting and challenging engineering management positions, that will directly contribute to delivery of the Scottish Governments priorities that will make a real difference to the lives of people living in Scotland, now and in the future.
Transport Scotland’s Major Projects Directorate is responsible for the design, assessment, promotion, procurement and construction of major transport infrastructure projects. These include the current Scottish Motorway and Trunk Road Programme (including the A9 Dualling Perth to Inverness, A83 Rest and Be Thankful and A96 Improvements). We also have new projects emerging from the second Strategic Transport Projects Review (STPR2). The Directorate also leads and advises on procurement and contract management matters for Transport Scotland.
One of these senior posts will be within the A9 Dualling Team, the Programme for which is progressing at pace with major construction of the A9 Dualling: Tomatin to Moy project now underway, the contract award for the A9 Dualling Tay Crossing to Ballinluig expected in Summer this year and the commencement of procurement for the A9 Dualling: Pitlochry to Killiecrankie section also expected in Summer this year. Ahead of the main works for each of these packages, we also expect to deliver a range of advance works packages to help de-risk our programmes. It is an exciting time for the team as we deliver on the Scottish Governments A9 Dualling Delivery plan to complete[GP1] the A9 Dualling between Perth and Inverness by 2035.
The other senior post is for a role within the Project Delivery Team responsible for several projects including the A96 Dualling Inverness to Nairn (including Nairn Bypass), A9/A96 Inshes to Smithton and M8 Woodside Viaducts schemes as they approach procurement /construction phases, together with completing residual issues on projects including Maybole Bypass and the Haudagain Improvement Scheme.
Both posts will report to a Head of Project Delivery (either specifically for the A9 or for the other projects). Both roles will have direct management of a team of engineers and advisors, which will vary commensurate with the delivery programme. The teams are also supported by governance and communications staff together with a specialist administration team.
Whilst these posts are for roles within the Major Projects Delivery Teams mentioned above flexibility may be required to work across the Directorate as priorities and projects dictate.
Successful candidates will be allocated to the role that best matches their skills although preference will also be considered.
