Job description

Transport Scotland is looking for an experienced applicant to fill a key A9 Dualling Project Delivery Team Leader role in our Major Projects Directorate. This is an exciting and challenging engineering management position on a Scottish Government flagship Programme that will directly contribute to delivery of the Scottish Governments priorities and 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.

The post will be within the A9 Dualling Team, the Programme for which is progressing at pace with construction contracts underway to dual the sections between Tomatin and Moy and between Tay Crossing and Ballinluig. Procurement for the A9 Dualling: Pitlochry to Killiecrankie is also currently underway. We are also delivering a wide range of advance works packages to help de-risk our programme. It is an exciting time for the team as we deliver on the Scottish Governments A9 Dualling Delivery plan to complete the A9 Dualling between Perth and Inverness by 2035.

Pending further recruitment, the post holder will initially report to the C3 Head of A9 Dualling Delivery. As Team Leader you 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 this post is for a role within the A9 Dualling Delivery Team mentioned above, flexibility may be required to work across the Directorate as priorities and projects dictate.
