The MYNE Portfolio of studies are being managed within the Rail Infrastructure North, Midlands and Integrated Rail Plan (RIMiNI) Directorate, across different Deputy Director-led divisions. You will be responsible for acting as the guiding mind across the Portfolio, ensuring appropriate management and integration across the studies, and directly managing three teams leading individual studies.
