£64,512 - £80,640
plus £3,100 London Allowance

Based in Euston, London

Ref: IRC2120546

Britain’s railways make more journeys today than in the 1920’s, when the network was twice its current size. The Digital Railway Programme will enable the deployment of digital signalling and train control systems, which have the potential to revolutionise the way trains are operated and controlled. They’ll also significantly increase available capacity, improve performance and enhance safety. Right now, we have a number of exciting opportunities within the team.

As our Estimating Manager, you’ll develop our approach towards digital railway systems in the UK. You’ll do this by leading a small team in developing and delivering high quality cost modelling. Day-to-day, you’ll have a varied workload, where you’ll manage resources, produce estimates in a timely manner and support best practice throughout the business. With a high level of accuracy, we’ll look to you to monitor and review all our estimates, and work alongside relevant procedures, systems and processes. Plus, you’ll own and manage the initiative of a unit cost modelling tool across the commercial discipline.

To join us, you’ll have a genuine enthusiasm to improve the railways and become an expert in your field. You will be degree-educated or hold a suitable professional qualification in either estimating or quantity surveying. We’ll expect you to have experience of estimating and cost modelling in the context of railway control systems, and ideally, you’ll already have knowledge of Network Rail’s processes. But, more importantly, you’ll be a forward-thinking individual with the ability to approach situations creatively.

Join the Digital Railway Programme and be a part of the transformation that will revolutionise the rail industry.

Our vision is a better railway for a better Britain

We aim to deliver a railway that is safer, more reliable and more efficient than ever before, to help build a thriving, sustainable economy.   

Britain’s railway does more than transport passengers and goods. It brings people and businesses closer together, which creates new jobs, opens up new markets and stimulates economic growth. We want to provide the best possible service to everyone who relies on the railway – passengers, train operating companies and businesses nationwide. Rail is vital to Britain's future.

More to us than meets the eye

There’s more to our organisation than you might have imagined. Although rail is a huge part of our business, we’re also one of the largest land and property owners in the UK. We manage a huge property portfolio that includes 18 of the biggest stations in Britain, the retail outlets inside them, and the small businesses that live under their arches. Sales at some of our stations have even been outperforming the high street.

We’re also behind some of the biggest, most innovative projects in the country – from the world’s largest solar bridge at Blackfriars through to electrification and HS2. Pioneers in advanced technology, our technical team invented the use of HD cameras to identify track wear-and-tear more efficiently. We’re also responsible for the 17,000km-long fibre optic network that powers our trackside signals, telephones and electrical systems. We do all this whilst maintaining safety as our number one priority.

Our rail network is the fastest growing and safest in Europe. But we still have work to do to create a railway fit for 21st century Britain. We’re investing more than £25bn in developing our infrastructure so that we can deliver more services and better journeys. This is the largest programme of sustained investment in the railway that Britain has ever seen, presenting an abundance of opportunities for ambitious and enthusiastic people like you to make an impact.
