About the Role
Balfour Beatty has an exciting opportunity for a Lead Package Manager to join our Major Projects team working on the iconic Old Oak Common station development in London. This £1 billion HS2 project will deliver the UK’s best-connected rail station, featuring six underground platforms and up to eight platforms on the adjacent Great Western Main Line. The station will provide high-speed rail services to the Midlands, central London, Scotland, the North, and direct links to three major airports, alongside passenger and retail facilities designed to offer an exceptional customer experience.

As Lead Package Manager, you will lead the Conventional Station Superstructure package, including Structural Steel, Secondary Steel, and Envelope works. You will manage three subcontractors delivering these works and oversee a multi-disciplinary team. Your responsibilities will include measuring subcontractor performance, raising health, safety and environmental issues, managing day-to-day interface activities, construction sequence strategy, scope analysis, identifying scope gaps, producing procurement documentation, liaising with designers, and proposing value engineering improvements.

Key duties include managing the full package lifecycle from tendering through to handover, ensuring NEC3 contract compliance, change management, cost forecasting, and reporting. You will own the programme schedule, conduct client reporting and trend analysis, lead and coach multidisciplinary teams, manage risks and stakeholders including third-party approvals (HS2, Network Rail, TfL, utilities), and ensure safety and environmental compliance throughout the project.
