The Ferrovial BAM Rail joint venture has a successful history of delivering critical infrastructure for the UK on time and to budget together in joint venture partnership. They first worked together in 2010 as BFK, delivering three Crossrail contracts, including the longest stretch of tunnelling works between Royal Oak and Farringdon and Farringdon Station, the first central station to be completed on the Elizabeth Line. The team has also delivered the Silvertown Tunnel project together in East London and has been delivering excellence at each stage of HS2, such as Fusion JV for the Enabling Works packages, EKFB for the central Main Works Contract and now delivering the track infrastructure across the entire HS2 route.
We are seeking an experienced, strategically minded and highly motivated individual to join our team as a Consents Manager. The Consents Manager will lead the identification, planning, procurement, coordination and management of all consents, permissions, approvals and third-party agreements required to deliver the HRS15 works.
This is not purely a management role. During the early stages of HRS15, the successful candidate will be required to undertake the practical delivery of consent activities themselves, including preparing submissions, coordinating technical inputs, engaging with authorities and securing approvals for the railheads and associated enabling infrastructure. As the programme develops, the role is expected to evolve into leading and managing a dedicated consents team. Candidates must therefore demonstrate both the hands-on capability to obtain consents and the leadership skills required to build and manage a function as the project grows.
