Sometimes the next step in your career isn’t another engineering role. It’s leading the people and projects around you. I’m recruiting for a Construction Field Manager to work across escalator projects within the London Underground and rail environment. While previous management experience would be welcomed, I’m also keen to speak with experienced escalator engineers, supervisors or technical professionals who feel they’re ready to take the next step.

I’m recruiting for a Construction Field Manager to work across escalator projects within the London Underground and rail environment.

While previous management experience would be welcomed, I’m also keen to speak with experienced escalator engineers, supervisors or technical professionals who feel they’re ready to take the next step.

If you understand escalator installation and modernisation, know what good looks like on site and have the confidence to lead people, coordinate works and take greater ownership of project delivery, don’t rule yourself out just because you haven’t held the manager title before.

You’ll be working across installation, replacement, refurbishment and modernisation projects, helping to deliver work safely, efficiently and to the standards expected in a safety-critical environment. SSSTS or SMSTS is essential, and experience within rail or transport infrastructure would be highly beneficial.
