Head of A9 Dualling Programme Delivery

Are you an experienced Chartered Civil Engineer (or equivalent professional qualification) and looking for an exciting and high-profile senior role?

Transport Scotland is looking for a highly experienced individual, with an exemplar track record of delivering high value/high risk infrastructure works and leading multi-disciplinary teams, to lead on the delivery of the A9 Dualling.

The A9 Dualling delivery team, which sits in the Major Projects Directorate within Transport Scotland, are looking for a Head of A9 Dualling to lead them on the delivery of the dualling programme by 2035, in line with the Scottish Government’s published programme. You will be responsible for leading and managing a team of around 20 which will vary commensurate with the delivery programme and includes engineers, advisors, governance and communications staff.

The Major Projects Directorate is responsible for the design, assessment, promotion, procurement and construction of major transport infrastructure projects. These include the current Scottish Motorway and Trunk Road Programme (including the A9 Dualling Perth to Inverness, A83 Rest and Be Thankful and A96 Dualling Inverness to Nairn (including Nairn Bypass)). We also have new projects emerging from the second Strategic Transport Projects Review (STPR2). The Directorate also leads and advises on procurement and contract management matters for Transport Scotland.

Whilst the post is for a role within the A9 Dualling team, flexibility may be required to work across the Directorate as priorities and projects dictate.
