An opportunity is available for an experienced Project Manager to support London Underground signalling works, initially taking responsibility for a Signal Recovery project on the Central Line. The role will provide interim cover for an existing Project Manager before moving into a second project area to support planned medical leave.
You will be responsible for delivering projects across time, cost, scope and quality, working within TfL's project management methodology and governance arrangements. The role has a strong focus on project planning, budgeting, cost control, programme and schedule management, project reporting, risk and issue management, and stakeholder coordination.

Strong practical project management experience is the priority; a formal Project Management qualification is beneficial but not essential.
