Would you enjoy the challenge of turning policies and strategies into deliverable schemes – all as part of Greater Manchester’s Bee Network? Come join TfGM’s NPR and High Speed Development Team and help shape transportation across Greater Manchester.

Northern Powerhouse Rail is a major strategic rail programme designed to transform rail connectivity and capacity in the north of England over the next few decades. Comprising a new railway line between Liverpool and Manchester, new stations at Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Airport alongside enhancements and connect to Metrolink, this is a transformative investment for Greater Manchester and the single largest investment ever in transport infrastructure in the North.

This is an exciting time to be working in transport infrastructure development in Greater Manchester. Alongside Northern Powerhouse Rail investment, the devolution of powers to Greater Manchester has already seen GM take control of buses alongside its control of Metrolink – the largest light-rail network in the country outside of London. With plans to take control of suburban rail by 2030, there are many exciting new challenges and opportunities for you to become a part of as we develop and deliver a joined-up London-style transport system. Why not come and join us and develop your skills as part of a structured career path?

Your Role

As a Strategic Development Manager in the HS2 NPR Development Team you will manage the early-stage development of medium or medium-to-large schemes (depending upon experience), the development of robust transport business cases, emerging rapid transit proposals and handover for delivery, of authorised funded strategic rapid transit projects and programmes to time, budget and relevant standards in pursuance of Greater Manchester’s Transport Strategy.

You will support the Lead Strategic Development Managers and Senior Strategic Development Managers to ensure schemes are developed that best fit GM’s requirements and have robust transport business cases and will be expected to manage the strategic development of designated medium schemes and/or specific aspects of larger ones, in line with the above.

You will be working alongside stakeholders across the city-region including politicians, local councils and developers on proposals that enhance placemaking and connectivity for Greater Manchester. You will also be supporting Greater Manchester’s liaisons with the Department for Transport (DfT), HS2 Ltd and other public and private bodies in helping to shape proposals that can be moved forward for on-time and on-budget delivery to the required standards and in line with Greater Manchester’s aspirations.
