A little bit about us: East West Rail is an infrastructure programme connecting communities between Oxford and Cambridge, a region currently underserved by transport. We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to improve prosperity for people and places across the corridor.  East West Railway Company (EWR Co) was established by the Department for Transport to oversee delivery from construction through to operation, ensuring the railway comes together in the right way for the communities it serves.  We are committed to building an inclusive railway for all. We believe that means nurturing a diverse team that reflects the UK communities we serve. Our approach is straightforward: to create an environment where everyone is welcome and able to be themselves. We celebrate diversity and are proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We actively encourage applications from all backgrounds and experiences. Role Summary:   East West Rail is one of the most significant transport infrastructure investments in a generation, a programme that will reconnect communities, unlock economic growth, and reshape how people move between Oxford, Milton Keynes, Bedford and Cambridge. This is genuinely nation-building work, and the Core Section is at its heart.  The Core Section is the greenfield element of the programme: the most technically complex part of East West Rail, and the section with the greatest potential to transform connectivity for the communities it passes through. It is delivered directly by EWR Co. As Delivery Director, you will have end-to-end accountability for bringing it to life, leading an effective, collaborative team, working through an Alliancing model with major supply chain partners, and navigating the full breadth of programme delivery from design through to handover.  The decisions you make will shape infrastructure that will serve communities for generations. Few roles in UK infrastructure offer this combination of scale, complexity and genuine public impact, with the chance to leave infrastructure that communities will rely on for generations.  About the Delivery Function:  The Delivery function is accountable for producing an asset that aligns to Sponsor requirements and establishes a safe, reliable and integrated railway. We aim to demonstrate delivery excellence through technical and design innovation, underpinned by mature programme controls that maximise public value.  We operate as an intelligent, integrated team, working through a network of strategic supply chain partners to bring together the capabilities needed to deliver the asset.
