Significant experience leading major civil engineering, rail, tunnelling or heavy infrastructure projects open to a range of infrastructure projects. Personally led projects through both design and construction/delivery. Strong understanding of the complete project lifecycle and the relationship between design, construction, programme, cost and risk. Experience working on NEC contracts, ideally NEC Option C. Previous experience personally running major projects under NEC / Option C. Strong commercial and financial acumen, with experience managing major budgets and understanding how commercial mechanisms, risk allocation and incentives influence delivery. Exceptional leadership skills and the ability to galvanise a complex, integrated supply chain. Superb stakeholder management skills, with experience operating on high-profile major projects. Experience managing major structural works, utilities and complex third-party interfaces. Strong project management discipline and leadership capability, with an understanding of APM principles and structured project delivery methodologies. Experience leading large multidisciplinary teams and Tier 1 contractors. The credibility and confidence to operate with senior stakeholders across a nationally important infrastructure programme. International mega-project experience is welcomed, as many candidates with the required £1bn+ experience will likely gained from abroad but must be eligible to work in the UK without sponsorship. 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. You'll therefore need strong project management discipline, the ability to establish clear accountability and the leadership capability to bring together a highly complex integrated supply chain around a common delivery objective. The successful candidate will be comfortable creating clarity across multiple teams, establishing effective processes and procedures, identifying inefficiencies and maintaining focus on programme, cost, risk, quality and delivery outcomes. The Opportunity This is an opportunity to take a senior leadership position directly with HS2 Ltd on a nationally important infrastructure scheme. You'll be responsible for turning one of the UK's most complex infrastructure designs into a successfully delivered piece of railway, working alongside a Tier 1 contractor and highly integrated professional, technical and supply-chain organisations. The project is expected to continue through to 2034/35, giving the successful candidate the opportunity to lead the project through its major construction and delivery phases. If you're a senior delivery leader who has personally delivered £1bn+ projects, understands both design and construction, is commercially sharp and has the leadership and stakeholder skills to operate in a highly complex, high-profile London environment, this is a role worth discussing confidentially.

Research Scientist (Biological Models), Chem-Bio London, UK About the AI Security Institute The AI Security Institute is the world's largest and best-funded team dedicated to understanding advanced AI risks and translating that knowledge into action. We're in the heart of the UK government with direct lines to No. 10 (the Prime Minister's office), and we work with frontier developers and governments globally. We're here because governments are critical for advanced AI going well, and UK AISI is uniquely positioned to mobilise them. With our resources, unique agility and international influence, this is the best place to shape both AI development and government action. The deadline for applying to this role is 6 th September 2026 , end of day, anywhere on Earth. About the team AISI's Chem Bio (CB) team conducts technical research to assess evolving AI capabilities related to science R&D and CB misuse, and the effectiveness of technical safeguards that might mitigate risks arising from those capabilities. The goal of our research is to inform critical decisions on security, opportunities, policy, and risk mitigation made by governments and AI developers. We'rea close-knit, unusually interdisciplinary team-made up of machine learning researchers and engineers, software engineers, virologists and bacteriologists, behavioural research scientists, biosecurity experts, long-standing CB policyspecialistsand talented generalists-who work closely with other technical and policy teams across government. Over the next twelve months, CB will hugely scale the range and complexity of the evaluations and research programmes it carries out, and engage more deeply with partners in major AI labs, the wider biotech and pharma ecosystem and security services than it ever has before. About the role AI capabilities in the life sciences are advancing faster than at any point in history. Foundation models can now design novel proteins and interpret genomic sequences. Specialised biological models can both identify drug targets and design the compound to target them. These are extraordinary tools for scientific progress but also have the potential for harm if misused. This role is for a technical researcher who can contribute strong ML and computational biology expertise to that mission. You will sit within a group of research scientists, subject matter experts and engineers, leading empirical research into the risk-relevant capabilities of specialised biological models, including biomolecular structure and generative-design systems. You will translate ambiguous questions about what these models could enable into rigorous research questions and experimental designs, assess whether in-silico performance translates into meaningful experimental outcomes, and investigate whether technical safeguards can reliably limit potentially dangerous capabilities. It is a role at the interface of machine learning, computational biology and biosecurity: shaping which capabilities we investigate, how we measure their real-world significance, and how we translate our findings into decisions by government and other trusted partners. What you will own Evaluate the risk-relevant capabilities of specialised biological models: Translate important but ambiguous questions about the capabilities of state-of-the-art biological models (including biomolecular structure and generative design models) into measurable research questions and experimental designs. Connect computational and experimental evidence: Use published experimental results, biological datasets, expert review and, where appropriate, external wet-lab collaborations to assess whether in-silico performance translates into experimentally relevant outcomes. Identify feasibility and effectiveness of technical safeguards: Lead research into the feasibility and effectiveness of technical safeguards for specialised biological models, including access controls, model-level interventions, monitoring, detection and capability-limiting approaches. Track the technical frontier: Identify important developments in biological AI and determine which new models, methods or capabilities AISI should investigate. Help shape the team's research agenda as the field evolves. Communicate to decision-makers: Produce clear technical reports, briefings and recommendations for senior decision-makers within government and other trusted partners, translating a complex technical evidence base into actionable conclusions that inform wider cross-Government and industry efforts in this space. Collaborate across expert communities: Work closely with research scientists, engineers, biosecurity experts, policy teams, AI safety specialists and external scientific partners to ensure AISI's evaluations are technically rigorous and policy-relevant . Role requirements Deep, hands-onexperience working with biological machine learning models. You haveworked directly with biological AI models,such as protein design models,generative,structure prediction or scientific foundation models. Strong machine-learning background and applied engineering skills. You understand modern machine-learning methods and have practical experience training, fine-tuning, adapting or evaluating models using PyTorch or similar. You can write robust, readable and maintainable Python code. Computational biology expertise . You have sufficient understanding of molecular biology, biochemistry, structural biology, protein science, genomics or a related area to reason seriously about biological data, model outputs and the scientific validity of an evaluation. Strong empirical judgement. You know how to design experiments to answer pre-specified research questions , identify relevant baselines/controls for these experiments and critically interpret scientific res ults . You can identify limitations in public benchmarks, evidential gaps and cases where results are being over- or under-interpreted. Mission orientation. You are motivated to conduct technical research with direct public-interest and policy impact. You understand that work at the intersection of AI and biology may carry dual-use sensitivity and can operate with appropriate discretion . Collaborative interdisciplinary communication . You can explain complex findings and their uncertainty across audiences, from researchers, engineers, subject-matter experts, policy and security stakeholders , without blurring the bottom line, and work effectively with people from very different technical backgrounds. Strong candidates may also have: AI safety framework familiarity . U nderstanding of AI safety frameworks, model evaluations, responsible capability assessment, release governance or other approaches to managing risks from advanced AI systems. Relevant institutional experience. Experience working in or with organisations such as Dstl, MOD, DHSC, UKHSA, academia, public health bodies, frontier AI labs, biotech companies, national security organisations or equivalent institutions in other settings. Existing security clearance. Existing SC or DV clearance AI-enabled research experience.
