Project Manager - Rail & Infrastructure

Everlinked Ltd • Permanent • Remote (Birmingham, West Midlands, England, United Kingdom) • £50k - £60k / year • 15h ago

Project Manager – Rail & Infrastructure

About the role

We're recruiting on behalf of a growing project management consultancy operating across the rail and transport infrastructure sector, working with clients including HS2, Network Rail-affiliated organisations, Midlands Rail Group, and long-standing train operating company partners.

This is a client-side project management role. You'll represent the client's interests on projects ranging from a few hundred thousand pounds to £10 million, either interfacing with third parties delivering work on the client's behalf, or managing the delivery of client-commissioned construction projects directly. Projects are almost always customer-facing — new stations, station improvements, walkways, and similar passenger experience upgrades.

What's in it for you

Salary: £50,000–£60,000, depending on experience (likely mid-£50s for the right candidate)
Pension: 5% employee / 8% employer contribution
Annual leave: 26 days plus bank holidays, with a genuinely flexible approach
Travel & expenses: mileage covered for client site travel, meals and hotel stay covered when overnight travel is required, and pool cars available for high-travel roles
Hybrid working: typically client office 1–2 days/week, company office once a week (Thursdays), remainder flexible
Team culture: twice-yearly company-wide team events (summer and winter), including past trips to a private glamping site with hot tubs
Genuine progression opportunity in a business that has grown from a single founder in 2019 to over 30 people today, with a clear trajectory into larger, multi-year framework contracts

About the business

A small but fast-growing infrastructure project management consultancy, founded in 2018 and built around a strong, behaviour-first culture. The team values people who get involved, take ownership, and build genuine relationships with clients — technical competence matters, but so does being someone people enjoy working with.

What you'll be doing

Representing the client throughout the lifecycle of infrastructure projects
Managing third-party contractors delivering work on client assets, or overseeing direct project delivery on the client's behalf
Helping shape project scope, supporting the move into contract, and managing that contract through to completion
Splitting time between the client's office, the company's Birmingham office (typically one day a week, Thursdays), and remote working, the exact mix depends on the client and project

What we're looking for

4–5+ years' experience in a project management role within rail, transport, or broader infrastructure — ideally at "scheme PM" level and ready to step up
A background with Network Rail, a train operating company, National Highways, or similar infrastructure organisations is ideal, but candidates from other infrastructure-adjacent sectors with strong transferable skills are equally welcome
A relevant qualification such as PRINCE2, APM, or PMQ is preferred, though not essential if you can demonstrate equivalent hands-on experience
Confident, self-sufficient, and comfortable running a project with minimal oversight — this isn't a role for someone who needs a lot of hand-holding
Strong client-facing communication skills; able to build relationships, flag issues proactively, and manage day-to-day delivery
A driving license is a strong advantage given regular travel to client sites, though not mandatory if you're well-connected by rail

Interested candidates should apply with an up-to-date CV. Strong preference for candidates already based in or able to easily travel to the Birmingham / East Midlands corridor, or along the Birmingham–York–London route.

Everlinked act as an equal employment agency.
