    Brief

    National Highways is seeking a flexible technical partner to provide strategic, technical, and programme management support for major third-party infrastructure schemes that impact NH's customers and assets. The partner will support multiple concurrent projects including Heathrow Expansion, East West Rail, Northern Powerhouse Rail, Grand Union Canal, and New Towns initiatives. Key responsibilities include: providing responsive technical expertise across a wide range of disciplines; supporting policy and guidance development; assisting with team and programme-wide capability development; and adapting to changing timelines and requirements set by external developers. Project scopes remain uncertain during RIS3 and may include paused schemes and future pipeline projects. The successful consultant must balance responsiveness with efficiency, maintain access to diverse technical knowledge, and adjust support based on monthly programme refreshes reflecting evolving developer priorities and milestones.
