The key requirement is genuine £1bn+ project delivery experience. This is not a programme governance or sponsorship role. We're looking for someone who has personally led major projects through design and construction and has the leadership, commercial and stakeholder skills required to successfully deliver complex infrastructure in London. Leadership & Project Management HS2 places significant emphasis on structured project delivery and leadership. Its internal project management framework and staff development approach are aligned with Association for Project Management (APM) principles.
