About The Role
At EKFB we’re shaping Infrastructure for a better tomorrow. All four of our partners (Eiffage, Kier, Ferrovial and BAM) bring specialist expertise in the design, construction, operation, financing and maintenance of railway networks, including the construction of one of Europe’s latest high speed rail projects.
We are seeking a proactive and dynamic Business Improvement Lead to join our team based in Milton Keynes. In this role, you will collaborate with stakeholders across the business to understand and evaluate critical workflows, identify inefficiencies, and propose actionable improvements that align with our strategic goals. Your role will involve conducting thorough “as‑is” assessments to identify inconsistencies and process pinch points, then designing and presenting improvement strategies to senior management for approval. Once approved, you will lead the implementation of these changes, driving adoption and ensuring measurable improvements to key business processes.
Another part of this role is to use data analysis to evaluate performance, identify areas of improvement, and propose practical solutions. You will develop and present process improvement proposals to senior management, demonstrating the value and impact of suggested changes. You will lead the implementation of approved process improvements, ensuring effective change management and adoption across the business.
You will be responsible for fostering collaboration across departments by engaging with stakeholders and building consensus around process improvement initiatives. You will promote and apply Lean, Six Sigma, or similar principles to streamline workflows and enhance operational efficiency. Additionally, you will monitor and measure the success of implemented changes, identifying further opportunities for refinement and optimisation. You will also communicate effectively through clear and impactful visual and verbal presentations, ensuring alignment and understanding across all levels of the organisation.
Key Skills and Qualifications
