Job Description
Department Description

Network Rail is at the heart of revitalising Britain’s railways. Over the next five years, we intend to invest £35 billion on improving and developing the rail network. From multi-million pound schemes, such as the rejuvenation of King’s Cross station and the upgrade and expansion of Thameslink, to Europe’s largest civil engineering project - Crossrail, we are involved in some of the most ambitious and diverse ventures the UK has ever seen.

Investment Projects

The key purpose of the Investment Projects function is the efficient delivery of renewals and enhancements through improved specification, better utilisation of resources and the professional control and management of projects. It’s focus is to renew and enhance the rail infrastructure to deliver our commitments for the future through increased efficiency and value for money.

Enhancements

The majority of major rail enhancements are delivered by third parties, but Network Rail has a vital role in facilitating such schemes, and undertaking smaller enhancements to meet customer needs. We have particular in-house expertise in the construction and completion of committed legacy projects, initiatives arising from the Safety and Environment Plan, and schemes sponsored by the Strategic Rail Authority and other key stakeholders.
