The Core Test Area is a priority section where HS2 is seeking to bring infrastructure together, commence testing and commissioning and validate the railway as an integrated system. As a result, successful delivery of EKFB has become a critical linchpin for the wider HS2 programme. This creates a particularly high-profile environment for Project Controls, bringing cost, schedule, risk, productivity, quantities, performance and assurance together across one of the programme's most important delivery areas. The Role You will Lead the overall Project Controls function across the EKFB Main Works Civils Contract.

Support annual funding, forecasting and programme-planning requirements within a publicly funded environment. What We're Looking For You are likely to bring: Proven experience leading large Project Controls teams. Strong experience across Cost, Planning/Scheduling, Risk, Estimating, Change and Performance Management. Major project delviery experience within a publicly funded or heavily regulated environment. Experience from major rail, infrastructure, aviation, nuclear or similarly complex programmes. Strong understanding of NEC3 and/or NEC4 contracts. Proven experience with EVM and integrated performance reporting. Experience presenting complex Project Controls information to Board, Executive or senior programme-level stakeholders.

Relevant backgrounds could include HS2, Crossrail, Thames Tideway, HS1, major airport programmes, Hinkley Point C, Sizewell C or other major regulated infrastructure programmes. Experience with Primavera P6, EVM systems and other major-project controls platforms would also be highly relevant. Career Progression This role offers a genuine opportunity to develop towards Director of Project Controls level within HS2. The current Director-level position sits at approximately £170,000 £200,000 + executive package, providing a clear progression route for an exceptional Head of Project Controls who can demonstrate strong leadership, programme-level thinking and the ability to operate effectively within HS2's complex governance environment.
