You will lead a person Project Controls function covering Cost, Planning/Scheduling, Risk and Estimating, with four direct reports responsible for the Area Project Controls functions. This is much more than a technical Project Controls position. HS2 is looking for a strong leader who can drive the performance of a large multidisciplinary team, provide senior-level challenge to the delivery organisation and turn complex project information into clear insight for decision-making. Functionally reporting to the Director of Project Controls at programme level, you will work closely with the Project Director on a day-to-day basis, giving the role significant visibility across both the EKFB contract and wider HS2 programme.

The importance of this section has increased significantly following the HS2 programme reset, with the central section forming part of the programme's designated Core Test Area. 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. Lead approximately 30 Project Controls professionals through four direct-report Area Project Controls leads. Set objectives, standards and expectations across Cost, Planning, Risk and Estimating, Drive team performance, consistency and continuous improvement. Work closely with the Project Director to provide an integrated view of project performance. Align project controls with the wider HS2 programme and Director of Project Controls.

Work closely with Commercial, Delivery, Engineering and Programme teams to identify emerging issues. Identify trends, interdependencies and emerging risks and ensure they are appropriately escalated. 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. Strong understanding of project governance, assurance and formal reporting structures. Experience working across Client, Contractor and Consultancy environments would be particularly valuable. 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. With the scale and longevity of the HS2 programme, there is significant scope for high-performing leaders to develop their careers internally and take on increasing levels of responsibility. Why This Opportunity? You will be leading a substantial Project Controls function on a £4.2bn+ major civils contract, while working on a section of HS2 that has become strategically important to the wider programme through its designation as part of the Core Test Area. For an established Senior Project Controls Manager, Project Controls Lead or Head of Project Controls, this represents an opportunity to take genuine ownership of a major function, operate alongside senior HS2 leadership and build towards Director-level responsibility within one of Britain's most significant infrastructure programmes.

Small, close-knit team, big appetite for creative projects, and a genuine love of turning empty floors into workplaces people actually want to be in. Every project matters to us. Clients get direct access to the people making the decisions, no layers, no faceless account management. We've built the business on trust, transparency and doing right by people, and after 15 years in the industry we've earned the right to be picky about who we work with and who we hire.

Ideally you've got 12-24 months' experience in estimating, quantity surveying, construction, commercial management or something similar in pre-construction. You don't need to know it all, we'll train you, but it'd help if you already understand: Building Regulations and Building Control Commercial fit-out or construction projects Procurement and subcontractor management Excel, and working confidently with numbers We're also genuinely open to great candidates from different backgrounds. If you're sharp, analytical, good with numbers, strong in Excel and properly interested in construction, we want to hear from you regardless of your CV's shape. Skills & experience Strong numerical and analytical skills Highly organised with a real eye for detail Strong communication and interpersonal skills Positive attitude and a willingness to learn Able to juggle multiple tasks and deadlines 12-24 months' experience in construction, estimating, quantity surveying or pre-construction Understanding of building control and construction costing principles Experience preparing estimates or cost plans Degree in Construction Management, Quantity Surveying or similar (nice to have, not essential) What success looks like Produce accurate, competitive project cost plans Help projects move efficiently from enquiry through to contract Build trusted relationships with clients and subcontractors Protect project profitability through sharp commercial management Take real ownership of a large chunk of the Founder's pre-contract workload Keep developing your commercial and technical chops Join a growing, owner-led business where your work genuinely moves the needle Work directly alongside the Founder and senior team, no middle layers Be part of a friendly team based in Farringdon Get stuck into creative workplace projects for a great range of clients Real opportunity to progress as we grow Work with people who love design, construction and building a business A place you'll actually enjoy coming to, where you're trusted with responsibility and can build a proper long-term career Timeline We're looking to appoint between September and December 2026.
