About the Role
Balfour Beatty has an exciting opportunity for a Package Manager to join our outstanding Major Projects team to work at our Old Oak Common development in London – the largest construction project in the UK. HS2’s new c. £1 billion Old Oak Common station will become the UK’s best-connected rail station once completed. Our Balfour Beatty VINCI SYTRA joint venture will be responsible for the final design, construction, and commissioning of the station in Northwest London. Upon completion, the new station will feature six underground platforms and up to eight platforms on the adjacent Great Western Main Line. Old Oak Common will provide high-speed rail services to the Midlands, central London, Scotland, and the North, as well as direct services to three major airports. Incorporating passenger and retail facilities, the new station will offer an exceptional customer experience for both passengers and visitors.

Managing a small team of assistant package managers, ranging from apprentices to section engineers, will also be part of your role. Additional duties include subcontractor and BBVS programme reviews, value engineering, identifying and progressing opportunities, and managing risks through mitigation strategies.
