Engineering Manager

The Metrowest 1b scheme will reinstate passenger rail services between Portishead and Bristol Temple Meads, improving regional connectivity and supporting sustainable transport. This £80m programme includes: Construction of 4.5 km of disused railway between Pill and Portishead; New stations at Pill and Portishead; Highways and utility works; Rock stabilisation and drainage; Bridges, retaining walls, and other lineside civils. Delivery is planned from January 2026 to mid-2028 in collaboration with Network Rail. We are looking for an Engineering Manager (CEM) to provide technical leadership and assurance across the Metrowest 1b scheme. You will initially focus on the completion of design assurance before moving into construction assurance, ensuring that all engineering deliverables are managed, reviewed, and delivered in line with project requirements. As the Network Rail–approved CEM, you will lead the day-to-day management of internal and external engineering resources, providing direction and support to the project CREs and ensuring design and construction assurance processes are rigorously applied.
