HS2 has retained our services to recruit an Area Director for Old Oak Common Station, one of the programme's most significant and complex infrastructure projects. The Area Director will hold overall accountability for the delivery, integration and transition to operations of the station, providing leadership across project delivery, constructability, operational readiness and stakeholder engagement. The role will ensure programme objectives are achieved safely, efficiently and in alignment with strategic outcomes. We are seeking an experienced Project Director with a track record of delivering major station programmes within a client-side organisation, consultancy or EPC contractor environment. Experience operating across complex stakeholder environments, including government bodies, transport authorities and delivery partners, is essential. The successful candidate will also be able to lead multidisciplinary teams through technically and commercially challenging programmes. Key accountabilities include delivery and assurance of a major station area programme, integrated delivery within the wider infrastructure scheme, stakeholder management, strategic external interfaces, technical integration, commercial strategy, risk mitigation, legal compliance, and development of an integrated operations and maintenance strategy focused on operational readiness and station operations. This is a rare opportunity to play a pivotal role in a nationally significant programme, offering both challenge and the chance to leave a lasting legacy.
