All four of our partners (Eiffage, Kier, Ferrovial and BAM) bring specialist expertise in the design, construction, operation, financing and maintenance of railway networks, including the construction of one of Europe’s latest high speed rail projects.

We're looking to recruit an Environmental Project Manager to join our North Chilterns to Aylesbury (NC2A) section of works. This role will primarily be based from the A41 compound which is just outside of Aylesbury. The role will require regular travel to site compounds in the area and because of this, we ask that all candidates hold a full driving license in order to be considered for the position.

We'd like you to represent the EKFB Environment Team within the RRMs organised with the client.

Part of the role will require you to prepare expenditure forecasts for all Environmental and Ecological activities and coordinate regular meetings with the Commercial Team to review and manage actual costs against the prepared forecast. You'll also need to support the Commercial Team in ensuring CEMAR is accurately maintained and up to date.

The position will require you to manage Ecology and Environment Subcontractors in accordance with all contractual obligations. We'd also need you to Project manage Ecology and Environment Subcontractors including, writing and coordinating work scopes, organising construction documentation (e.g., Method Statements and Task Briefing Sheets), tracking contractual deliverables (e.g., submission of programmes on CEMAR), reviewing Applications for Payments, and managing programmes.
