The M25 is one of our Flagship projects in the UK! It is the most used part of the UK Strategic Road Network with it seeing over 200,000 vehicles per day and it’s a critical infrastructure asset for personal and goods vehicles into and around our capital. The network includes around 800 structures and 5 tunnels, so it requires high levels of performance, constant improvement and repairs to keep it operating smoothly.
We’ve formed a Joint Venture project called Connect Plus Services (CPS) to work with our partners to widen, operate and maintain the M25 under a 30-year contract and are looking for a Programme Optimisation Manager to ensure that the Optimatics system optimisation and re-optimisation processes are managed effectively.

* Deliver training and briefings to teams on the Optimatics system, data input control, and quality, driving a culture of continuous improvement.
* Manage road space bookings meticulously, ensuring data accuracy, timely information transfer, and identifying opportunities for road space sharing
